Summary

This research study is evaluating how well a decision support tool works to improve clinicians' use of recommended chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) assessment and management strategies in participants receiving chemotherapy.

Detailed description

This research study will test a new clinician decision support tool for the assessment and management of CIPN. The algorithm is designed to help clinicians make decisions about which strategies to use for the assessment and/or management of CIPN. The investigators need to recruit participants receiving chemotherapy that is known to cause CIPN to determine how well the algorithm works to increase clinicians' use of recommended CIPN assessment and management strategies.

Conditions

• Cancer
• Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	CIPN Assessment and Management Algorithm	The revised algorithm incorporates evidence-based CIPN assessment and management strategies and standardized CIPN/pain patient-reported outcomes measures. In terms of processes, trained study staff will administer the screening questionnaires (e.g., PRO-CTCAE, 0 - 10 numerical rating scale of worst CIPN pain intensity) to consented patients before their clinician visit (e.g., in the waiting room). Following patient completion of the screening questionnaires, study staff will provide the clinicians with a color-coded summary of the patients' responses to the screening questionnaires and the CIPN assessment and management algorithm. Clinicians may then use the algorithm at their discretion to guide the assessment and management of their patients' CIPN symptoms
