Predictors of the usefulness of duloxetine for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Duloxetine is an effective therapeutic agent for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). However, predictors of duloxetine response have not been adequately explored. Therefore, this retrospective study was performed to identify predictive factors of duloxetine response in CIPN patients to guide future strategies to improve the quality of life of patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Retrospective study of pregnant women placed under expectant management for persistent hemorrhage.
