Neuropathy is pain that results from nerve damage to the peripheral nervous system. It is common for people receiving chemotherapy to suffer from neuropathy, especially platinum and taxane chemotherapy. Taxane chemotherapy medicines inculde Taxol, Taxotere, and Abraxane. Platinum chmotherapy medicines include carboplatin.

Studies suggest that wearing frozen gloves and socks during these chemotherapy medicines help to minimize neuropathy.

Talk to your doctor about whether wearing frozen socks and gloves is right for you
