Assessment of nerve fiber excitability

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change of Nerve fiber excitability

    The chronaxie and the rheobase to rectangular stimuli, the accommodation to triangular stimuli, and the electrotonus to subthreshold hyperpolarizing pre-pulses for large and small sensory nerves from the excitability measure.

    The difference between baseline and the 6 months follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change of Quantitative sensory test

    The difference between baseline and the 6 months follow-up

  • Changed of CTCAE

    The difference between baseline and the 6 months follow-up

  • Change of CIPN20.

    The difference between baseline and the 6 months follow-up
