About

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.

Full 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.

  • ambulatory,
  • signed informed consent,
  • willingness to participate in all study activities,
  • speaks/reads English,
  • receives care from one of the clinicians enrolled in the study.

Exclusion Criteria for Patients:

226 participants in 2 patient groups

Period I
No Intervention group
Description:
-Consented patients will complete electronic versions of the PRO-CTCAE CIPN severity and interference items, 0 - 10 worst CIPN pain numerical rating scale, and QLQ-CIPN20 via tablet prior to their clinician visit at the outpatient oncology center at three consecutive clinic visits: baseline, visit 2, visit 3.
Period II
Experimental group
Description:
* Consented patients will complete the same battery of assessments from the usual care period at the baseline, visit 2, and visit 3 time points. * 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
Treatment:
Behavioral: CIPN Assessment and Management Algorithm
