Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Alleviation of paresthesias (VAS)

    Visual analog scale, 0-10, higher score = worse

    baseline vs. one day after the last treatment session

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Further neuropathic symptoms (via VAS questionnaire)

    baseline vs. one day after the last treatment session vs. follow-up 2 weeks after the last treatment session

  • Further neuropathic symptoms (via EORCT CIPN20 questionnaire)

    baseline vs. one day after the last treatment session vs. follow-up 2 weeks after the last treatment session

  • Quality of life (via EORCT C30 questionnaire)

    baseline vs. one day after the last treatment session vs. follow-up 2 weeks after the last treatment session

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \- Patients with histologically verified breast cancer and neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with a taxane derivate (e.g., Paclitaxel, Docetaxel): This group was chosen due to relatively high risk of neuropathy due to this special therapeutic agent 1,9.
  • Cumulative dose of at least 3 cycles
  • Interval of 2 weeks since the last chemotherapeutic cycle in order to prevent false worsenings due to delayed neurotoxic effects
  • Life expectancy of at least 3 months
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0-2 (that is, the capability to walk and to spend less than 50% of waking hours sitting or lying)
  • Ability to walk (with or without aids)
  • European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) common toxicity criteria (CTC) peripheral sensory neuropathy grade 1 or 2
  • Intensity of paresthesias of \> 3/10 on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

You may not qualify if:

  • \- Prevalent neuropathy of different etiology
  • Serious central-neurological or psychiatric disorder that would interfer with a proper order of the study, according to the judgement of the investigators
  • Epilepsy
  • Minors or persons unable to give informed consent
  • Current neurotoxic medication
  • Implanted pacemakers or defibrillators
  • Pregnancy
  • Wounds in the area to be treated, acute local or systemic infection
  • Peripheral arterial occlusive disease \> grade 2
