Scrambler Therapy With Duloxetine-based Usual Care vs Duloxetine-based Usual Care for Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy.

Study Summary

The investigators hypothesize that Scrambler therapy with duloxetine, compared to duloxetine-based usual care, will result in greater improvement in CIPN as measured by the BPI-Short Form. In addition, the investigators will further assess pain using the EORTC CIPN-20 and determine whether Scrambler therapy results in improved levels of function as measured with the PDQ, and a decreased need for opioid medications. Our primary objective is to investigate whether Scrambler therapy with duloxetine is superior to duloxetine-based usual care in achieving at least a 50% reduction in pain scores, when comparing the cross-sectionally measured "average" pain score at day 35 to the cross-sectionally measured "average" pain score at baseline.

Primary Outcome

Investigate whether Scrambler therapy with duloxetine is superior to duloxetine alone in patient achievement of at least a 50% reduction in pain scores when comparing the cross-sectionally measured "average" pain score at day 35 to the cross-sectionally measured "average" pain score at baseline (baseline = day 1).
