Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this exploratory study is to examine the short- and long-term effects of dysesthesia-matched transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation combined with standard physical therapy in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, and to clarify its effects on numbness, pain, sensory disturbance, motor impairment, and interference with daily activities.

Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

Changes in the subjective intensity of numbness assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale. Specifically, changes in NRS before and after each dysesthesia-matched TENS session during the intervention phase and daily changes in NRS across the baseline, intervention, and follow-up phases will be evaluated.

Key secondary outcomes

Secondary outcomes include pain intensity assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory intensity scale, pain interference assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory interference scale, pain distribution assessed using pain drawings, severity of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy assessed using the Patient Neurotoxicity Questionnaire, neuropathic pain symptoms assessed using the Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory, quantitative assessment of the fineness and intensity of dysesthesia using electrical stimulation, vibration sense and superficial sensation as quantitative sensory testing, central sensitization-related symptoms assessed using the CSI-9, pain catastrophizing assessed using the PCS-6, anxiety assessed using the GAD-2, depression assessed using the PHQ-2, balance function assessed using the Berg Balance Scale, physical activity assessed using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire, and adverse events.

Interventions/Control_1

The study consists of a 1-week baseline phase with standard physical therapy alone, a 1-month intervention phase with dysesthesia-matched TENS combined with standard physical therapy, and a 1-month follow-up phase without TENS. During the intervention phase, dysesthesia-matched TENS will be delivered for 60 minutes per session, once weekly, for a total of four sessions.
