CHEMOTHERAPY-INDUCED PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

This study tested a new, simple device that measures skin conductance to diagnose nerve damage in children after chemotherapy. The tool is non-invasive and easy to use, aiming to detect problems earlier than current methods. 55 children aged 5-17 who received neurotoxic chemother…

This study tested whether omeprazole, a common heartburn medication, could prevent nerve damage caused by oxaliplatin chemotherapy in 46 adults with colorectal or pancreatic cancer. Participants received omeprazole alongside their standard chemo regimen for 12 cycles. The goal wa…

This study tested whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) near nerves can reduce pain and nerve damage caused by chemotherapy. 62 cancer patients with confirmed nerve pain received the treatment. The goal was to see if this approach offers a safe and effective way to ease sy…

This small study tested whether electro-acupuncture (a gentle electric current through needles) could help people with nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. Twenty adults who had finished chemo at least 3 months prior received 10 treatments. The main goal was to see if the treatment…

This study looked at whether acupuncture can help prevent or reduce nerve damage caused by chemotherapy in people with early-stage breast cancer. 89 patients received either acupuncture or relaxation exercises. The goal was to see if acupuncture could lessen pain, numbness, and t…

This study tested a nutritional supplement containing vitamins, minerals, and other natural ingredients in 71 cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The goal was to see if it could reduce nerve pain and damage caused by chemo drugs like platinum and taxanes. Researchers measured…

This study tested a cream made from cannabidiol (CBD) to see if it could reduce nerve pain, numbness, or tingling in the hands and feet caused by chemotherapy. Forty adults with cancer who had moderate to severe nerve symptoms took part. Half used the CBD cream and half used a pl…

This study looked at long-term nerve damage in 467 adults who had childhood leukemia and were treated with vincristine. Researchers used a questionnaire to measure how common and severe the nerve problems were. The goal was to better understand the lasting side effects of this ch…

This study tested whether a smartphone app can help detect early signs of nerve damage from chemotherapy that could lead to falls. Twelve adults with cancer starting certain chemo drugs used the app to report symptoms. The goal was to find a symptom threshold that signals fall ri…
