ClinConnect Summary
The PIVOT Feasibility Pilot Trial is a research study designed to help patients with chemotherapy-related nerve damage, known as peripheral neuropathy, focus on what matters most to them in their care. This trial aims to shift the way healthcare is delivered, moving from just treating the disease to considering the whole person and their individual values. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it will involve people aged 18 and older who live in the Houston area and have experienced significant pain or bothersome symptoms from their condition.
To participate, individuals must have access to a smartphone and the internet, be able to attend an in-person appointment at the Main Hospital Pain Management Clinic within a few weeks, and be comfortable communicating in English. Participants can expect to engage in a technology-based program that helps them identify their personal health goals and needs. This trial is an exciting opportunity for patients to take an active role in their care while receiving support tailored to their unique experiences.
