Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Quick Answer: CIPN affects up to 70% of cancer patients on platinum-based chemo, taxanes, or vinca alkaloids. Symptoms range from numbness to debilitating pain. MLS Laser therapy and infrared have helped many patients.
CIPN Treatment Options
Pharmacologic options include duloxetine. Non-drug options include MLS Laser, exercise therapy, and acupuncture. We treat many cancer survivors with persistent CIPN. Managing Neuropathy, our sister education site, explains which chemotherapy drugs cause neuropathy, how long it lasts and what helps.
FAQ
Will CIPN go away after chemo ends?
About 50% improve over 1-2 years; others have permanent symptoms. Early intervention with laser therapy may help.
