Title: | Photobiomodulation Therapy for the Management of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: An Overview | Authors: | LODEWIJCKX, Joy ROBIJNS, Jolien Bensadoun, René-Jean MEBIS, Jeroen |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC | Source: | Photobiomodulation, Photomedicine, and Laser Surgery, 38(6), p. 348-354 | Abstract: | Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect of chemotherapy (CT), affecting 68% of patients. Current treatment strategies are based on pharmacological symptom management, but have limited results. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a new and emerging therapeutic tool in the supportive care of cancer patients. In this overview, we explore the usability of PBMT for management of CIPN.Objective: To provide a comprehensive overview of management of CIPN with PBMT.Methods: Specific terms, including "Photobiomodulation Therapy," "Drug Therapy," and "Peripheral Nervous System Diseases," were identified for the literature research in PubMed.Results: Three articles were considered eligible for this review. Primary outcome measures were highly variable across the included studies.Conclusions: PBMT might be an effective treatment strategy to manage CIPN, with very encouraging reports from renowned teams, but evidence is limited. More methodologically uniform research (mainly regarding the parameters of PBMT) is needed to support the use of PBMT for this indication. | Keywords: | photobiomodulation;chemotherapy;peripheral neuropathy;cancer;supportive care | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/31278 | e-ISSN: | 2578-5478 | DOI: | 10.1089/photob.2019.4771 | ISI #: | 000536308000001 | Rights: | Copyright 2020, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2021 |
