The investigators aim to determine the effect of cryotherapy wraps plus compression therapy (henceforth referred to as cryocompression) versus cryotherapy wraps alone on the incidence and degree of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gynecologic cancer using a noninferiority design. The investigators also aim to determine the effect of cryocompression versus cryotherapy on patient tolerability and patient and staff satisfaction.
Participants will be randomized by patient to receive cryotherapy wraps plus compression therapy (cryocompression) versus cryotherapy wraps alone applied to the bilateral hands and feet. Participants will receive cryotherapy (+/- compression) for the duration of their taxane infusions. Participants will be asked to complete the FACT-NTX survey and a PNQ neuropathy surveys at each infusion visit to evaluate symptoms related to neuropathy. Participants will also complete a brief acceptability and tolerability survey at each visit. Lastly, a staff satisfaction survey will be administered at each…
