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.
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.
