Use of acupuncture with acupressure in addition to standard-of-care cryotherapy to decrease chemotherapy-associated neuropathy in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy: Study protocol for a randomized, controlled pilot and feasibility study.
Contemp Clin Trials
August 2023
Article Synopsis
- - Oxaliplatin is a chemotherapy drug used to treat gastrointestinal cancers, but it can cause chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), limiting treatment effectiveness.
- - A pilot study is being conducted with 56 patients to investigate if acupuncture and acupressure can reduce CIPN and other chemotherapy-related side effects during treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and oxaliplatin.
- - Participants are randomly assigned to receive either acupuncture with self-acupressure or standard treatment, and various symptoms and side effects will be assessed over three months to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of this approach.

The notion of a FR was changed as providers everywhere were facing new challenges in their front-facing experience, whether this be a sense of overwhelm, an experience of detachment or of overload.
