- Paclitaxel is a commonly used chemotherapy drug that often causes peripheral neuropathy, leading to painful sensitivity in patients.
- This study investigates the effects of rapamycin, which may protect against pain associated with paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN).
- Results show that rapamycin can significantly reduce this pain when administered in specific ways, suggesting it could be a promising treatment to alleviate side effects of chemotherapy.
