Claim 4:
5. A method for mitigating peripheral nerve neuropathy associated with chemotherapy treatment, comprising:
exerting a compressive pressure on a body part of a patient positioned within an interior space of a compression exertion device having an outer enclosure during administration of at least a portion of a prescribed amount of delivery of a chemotherapeutic agent to the patient, wherein the compressive pressure is exerted for causing at least one of a magnitude of the compressive pressure and a duration of time for said compressive pressure being exerted to at least one of occlude blood flow into dermis tissue of the body part and reduce blood flow into dermis tissue of the body part, wherein exerting the compressive pressure on the body part includes delivering a compression-inducing medium into at least one of the interior space of the compression exertion device and an expansion cavity of the compression exertion device having a wall at least partially defining the interior space, and wherein exerting the compressive pressure on the body part includes providing an expansion limiting impediment to impede outward expansion of the outer enclosure.
