PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:~I. Assess experiences during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic of the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) (e.g. physical, emotional, social well-being), and other COVID-19-specific domains (e.g. anxiety, social interactions, finances), and the associations between COVID-19 experiences and COVID-19-specific distress, HRQOL and clinical outcomes of patients who participated in one of three clinical trials.~II. Examine differences in outcomes between neuropathic pain patients who participated in one of two trials of NFB and received NFB, and neuropathic pain patients who participated in a non-treatment-related neuropathy study (i.e., who did not receive NFB).~III. Evaluate the extent to which coping and resilience factors moderate the effects of COVID-19 experiences on COVID-19-specific distress, HRQOL and clinical outcomes.~OUTLINE:~Patients complete an online questionnaire over 15 minutes about their experiences regarding the COVID-19 pandemic including testing, risks of exposure, whether people they know have acquired COVID-19, as well as questions on how the pandemic has impacted their quality of life.
This study investigates the experiences of cancer patients with neuropathy during the COVID-19 pandemic to learn how the COVID-19 pandemic affects their quality of life and clinical outcomes. This study will also explore whether there are differences between patients who received neurofeedback (NFB, a type of therapy that is thought to help normalize brain activity) and those who did not. Learning about quality of life in cancer patients with neuropathy during the COVID-19 pandemic may help guide development of programs and policies to improve chronic pain patient care and outcomes during a major global healthcare crisis.
