Auricular acupressure can reduce chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) symptoms following breast cancer treatment, South Korean researchers reported.
Their randomized trial showed that the technique significantly improved patient-reported CIPN symptoms compared with the use of a sham treatment. Results from the study, led by Mijung Kim, PhD, of the College of Nursing of Chungnam National University in Daejeon, were presented at the Oncology Nursing Society virtual annual meeting.
CIPN can occur following the administration of a variety of antineoplastic agents, such as taxanes, and can seriously affect quality of life, with symptoms sometimes lasting many months.
The problem is very common: in a 2014 review, the prevalence of CIPN one month after finishing chemotherapy was 68%, dropped to 60% at three months, and still occurred in 30% of patients at six months.
