Official title
An Exploratory Self-Controlled Study on the Preventive Effect of the Simple Surgical Glove Compression Technique Against Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Overview
To evaluate the preventive efficacy of a simple surgical glove compression technique in reducing the incidence and severity of Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy among patients receiving chemotherapy.
Interventions
- Procedure Simple Surgical Glove Compression Technique
Patients will wear surgical gloves of smaller size than the patient's hand, on the dominant hand from 15 minutes before the start of each neoadjuvant chemotherapy infusion until 15 minutes after the end of infusion (total of 90 minutes). The non-dominant hand will serve as the untreated control.
Primary outcome measures
- Change in the functional assessment of cancer therapy/gynaecologic oncology group-neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-Ntx) subscale score(range:-44to44; higher scores indicate better neurotoxicity-related quality of life). [Time frame: From baseline (prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy) to after 8 weeks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
- Change in scores and the sum score of four hand-related items of the FACT/GOG-Ntx subscale (range: -16to+16; higher scores indicate better neurotoxicity-related quality of life). [Time frame: From baseline (prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy) to after 8 weeks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer]
- The overall change in the FACT/GOG-Ntx subscale score (range: -44to44; higher scores indicate better neurotoxicity-related quality of life) [Time frame: From baseline to the end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 6 months after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy]
- Incidence of CIPN as determined by changes in tactile sensitivity assessed with the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test [Time frame: From baseline to the end of and 6 months after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy]
- Incidence of CIPN according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 [Time frame: From baseline to the end of and 6 months after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy]
- Changes in the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) scores (range: -12to12, higher scores on functional and global health domains indicate better quality of life,; -84to84; while higher [Time frame: At baseline (prior to initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy), at 8 weeks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, at 2 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and at 6 months after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.]
- Changes in the maximum width and height of the lunula of each finger [Time frame: At baseline (prior to initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy), at 8 weeks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, at 2 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and at 6 months after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.]
