Peripheral neuropathy is a well-described side effect of certain chemotherapeutic agents, including taxanes, and often improves in the weeks following treatment. The recurrence of motor and sensory neuropathies after anaesthesia has not yet been described to our knowledge. We present a case of transient recurrence of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy following general anaesthesia. Although an exact mechanism has not yet been described and is likely multifactorial in nature, anaesthetists should be prepared to address this phenomenon in the growing population of patients on chemotherapeutic agents.

Efficacy of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation on Modulating Upper Extremity Sympathetic Skin Response in Alleviating Cancer Survivors With Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: A Propensity Score-Matched Cohort Study.

Objective: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect of chemotherapy and it is currently intractable We compared the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) against non-TEAS groups and investigated the variables that predict effective relief of upper extremity pain in cancer survivors with CIPN.
Methods: We retrospectively collected data of cancer survivors who developed CIPN between May 2017 to March 2022. All eligible CIPN patients were divided into TEAS group (received TEAS) and non-TEAS group (did not receive TEAS) in our department.

Background: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes. Proactive treatment options remain limited, which is exacerbated by a lack of sensitive and convenient diagnostics, especially early in disease progression or specifically to assess small fiber neuropathy (SFN), the loss of distal small diameter axons that innervate tissues and organs.
Methods: We designed, fabricated, tested, and validated a first-of-its-kind medical diagnostic device for the functional assessment of transdermal small fiber nerve activity.

Alcohol use disorders can cause peripheral and central neurological disorders with symptoms such as pain, numbness, paresthesia, and dysesthesia, often impairing walking ability. However, effective treatments for alcohol-related peripheral neuropathy are yet to be identified. This case report highlights the successful use of dysesthesia-matched transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (DM-TENS) and aerobic exercise in a 53-year-old woman with alcohol-related peripheral neuropathy who presented with severe pain and walking difficulties.

Introduction: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nervous system, causing acute flaccid paralysis. There have been occasional reports linking Hepatitis A virus (HAV) to GBS. Here we aimed to evaluate the current literature on the association between GBS and HAV, exploring potential mechanisms and clinical implications.
