Exploring the Benefit of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation in Treating Pain From Chemo-induced Peripheral Neuropathy: A Longitudinal Single Center Feasibility Study

Description

Primary objective:

To assess Pain intensity (NRS) scores in chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) participants before and after use of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS).

Secondary objectives:

To assess changes in quantitative sensory testing (QST), gait testing, and skin punch biopsy to compare the integrity of Meissner’s corpuscles (MC), pain disability using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), pain interference using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) in CIPN patients before and after use of PNS.
