Self-Applied Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy causes pain in many cancer survivors. This study tests whether a simple, self-applied ear stimulation device (taVNS) can reduce symptoms. By exploring how taVNS affects inflammation, brain activity, and heart rhythm, findings will guide future research and may offer a simple healthcare option for patients.
