About this study
Official title: The Preventive Effect of Chinese Traditional Medicine Nursing Combined With Case Tracking Management on Chemotherapy-induced Hand-foot Syndrome: a Randomized Controlled Study
this study will use traditional Chinese medicine bath with no obvious side effects combined with case tracking management mode to form nursing measures to prevent hand foot syndrome. A randomized controlled trial design will be used to collect cases of hand foot syndrome (HFS) that did not appear after chemotherapy in the ward of the Department of chemotherapy, Peking University Third Hospital, and carry out nursing intervention.
Read the detailed description
Chemotherapy drugs have achieved certain satisfactory clinical efficacy in the treatment of cancer, but they can also cause common side effects including digestive tract reactions, skin rashes, hand-foot syndrome, and bone marrow suppression. Among them, hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a common chemotherapy complication with an incidence rate of up to 50%-60%6. About 17%-24% of patients may develop grade 3 HFS. The main clinical manifestation of HFS is characterized by red plaques and sensory abnormalities on the palms and soles of the hands and feet. The initial symptoms are hyperemia and erythema on the palms and soles, tingling sensation, sensory abnormalities/sensory insensitivity, numbness at the ends of the fingers/toes, followed by tension, pain, dryness, skin desquamation and peeling (small or large flakes of skin lifted) on the hands and feet. In severe cases, blisters, exudation, and even ulcers may occur, accompanied by severe pain. Patients may be unable to walk or hold objects due to pain, and even lose their ability to take care of themselves. Currently, HFS is mainly treated by interrupting chemotherapy, symptomatic analgesia, anti-inflammation, and preventing infection. The occurrence of HFS brings great inconvenience to patients' daily lives, not only affecting their ability to live independently (including general labor and work), but also adding additional economic expenses. More importantly, due to the impact of drug reduction or withdrawal, cancer treatment cannot be carried out smoothly, which has a negative impact on patients' quality of life. Therefore, paying attention to the prevention of hand-foot syndrome is of great clinical significance.
At present, domestic and foreign scholars have adopted oral administration of vitamin, mecobalamin and other neuroprotective drugs to prevent HFS， but the incidence of HFS remains high. The analysis of the reasons found that due to the lack of effective management, patients have poor compliance, and patients are worried about the side effects of drugs, which further reduces their compliance. Many domestic studies have found that external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (including bathing and application) is safe, effective and easy to implement. Moreover, more and more studies have found that traditional Chinese medicine can effectively treat hand-foot syndrome Case tracking management mode is a branch of tracking methodology, which refers to tracking the diagnosis, treatment and nursing process experienced by patients in the whole medical system, evaluating the nursing service of the hospital from the perspective of "patients", so that the evaluator can "see" the whole nursing process from the perspective of patients. In recent years, studies have found that the case tracking management model can quickly find and improve the quality of clinical nursing problems, and has a significant role in promoting high-quality nursing and nursing safety. Therefore, this study will use traditional Chinese medicine bath with no obvious side effects combined with case tracking management mode to form nursing measures to prevent hand foot syndrome. A randomized controlled trial design will be used to collect cases of hand foot syndrome (HFS) that did not appear after chemotherapy in the ward of the Department of chemotherapy, Peking University Third Hospital, and carry out nursing intervention.

At the same time, we should also try to reduce the chance of skin damage on hands / feet, such as wearing long clothes and pants when going out to avoid direct sunlight; Wear loose shoes, socks and gloves to avoid frequent friction and excessive pressure of hands and feet; Avoid heavy physical labor and intense exercise; Avoid contact with supercooled, overheated, sharp and irritating objects.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence of HFS
Number of HFS patients / total number of patients included in each group
Measured: At the end of 42 days of chemotherapy for the patient
Secondary outcomes (1)
EORTC-QOL-C30
QoL was measured by using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire （EORTC-QOL-C30）
Measured: At the end of 42 days of chemotherapy for the patient

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Chinese traditional medicine nursing combined with case tracking management and Health Education in people with Cancer, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yamei Chen (13910003135, chenyamei3@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of HFS (time frame: At the end of 42 days of chemotherapy for the patient). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06441513, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
