Article Synopsis
- The study investigated peripheral small-fiber neurotoxicity and pain sensitization in long-term survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia who underwent stem cell transplantation (SCT).
- 25 relapse-free survivors were assessed using a clinical neuropathy score and Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) to evaluate pain sensitivity and nerve function.
- Findings revealed that 36% of participants had peripheral neuropathy, while 88% showed signs of small fiber dysfunction and more than half experienced heightened sensitivity to pain, indicating a significant long-term impact on their nerve health.
