Cancer Pain

The solution to your pain lies at our fingertips.

Phase II clinical study examining CTT’s Calmare pain therapy medical device completed

 

The study examined the device’s effect on pain associated with CIPN that can produce sharp pains in the hands and feet of cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy. This debilitating pain affects about 30 to 40 percent of cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and typically develops into a classic stocking-and-glove pain that can last for many years. “Exploring ways to treat pain other than prescribing opioids such as morphine is key to our mission of improving the quality of life for cancer patients,” said Dr. Smith.
