Preliminary evaluation of novel Bodily Attention Task to assess the role of the brain in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN).

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is a common, sometimes dose-limiting side effect of neurotoxic chemotherapy. Treatment is limited because its pathophysiology is poorly understood. Compared to research on peripheral mechanisms, the role of the brain in CIPN is understudied and it may be important to develop better treatments.
