Chemotherapy-induced Neuropathy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Auricular Point Acupressure to Manage Chemotherapy Induced Neuropathy
The proposed randomized control trial will evaluate auricular point acupressure (APA) on chemotherapy-induced neuropathy (CIN), rigorously considering point specificity and placebo effects by integrating self-report measures, psychophysical measures (QST), endogenous biomarkers (cytokines), and neuro-imaging to investigate APA's efficacy and underlying mechanism(s).

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in pain severity as assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory | Pain severity will be assessed using the revised Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The scale ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). | Up to 4 months | |
Primary | Change in numbness as assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory | Numbness will be assessed using the revised Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The scale ranges from 0 (no numbness) to 10 (severe numbness). | Up to 4 months | |
Primary | Change in tingling as assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory | Tingling will be assessed using the revised Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The scale ranges from 0 (no tingling) to 10 (severe tingling). | Up to 4 months | |
Primary | Change in physical function as assessed by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 29 | Physical function will be assessed using the subscale of physical function, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 29. The subscale of physical function has a range of 5 (unable to function) to 20 (able to function without difficulty). | Up to 4 months | |
Secondary | Change of pain sensitivity as assessed by Qualitative Sensory Testing (QST) | Pain sensitivity will be measured by QST. The QST battery consists of light touch sensation as assessed by the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test (SWMT), threshold and tolerance, temporal summation, and conditioned pain modulation (CPM). The threshold responses will be conducted in randomized and counterbalanced order; CPM will always occur last. Temporal summation measures, CPM, and after-sensation responses to these measures will be combined to create the central sensitization index for use in statistical analyses. | Up to 4 months | |
Secondary | Change of brain activity as assessed by fMRI Neuroimaging | All Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRIs) will be acquired on a 3.0 Tesla Siemens Prisma System (Siemens Medical Solutions, Erlangen, Germany) at The Johns Hopkins Hospital Radiology Building, Baltimore. Blood Oxygen Level Dependent functional images will be acquired using 2D gradient echo echo-planar imaging to cover the whole head [repetition time (TR)=2000ms, echo time (TE)=30ms, flip angle 90 degrees, acquisition matrix 64x64x40, slice thickness 4mm]; 300 volumes will be acquired for each fMRI data point. All imaging systems are connected to the hospital picture archiving and communication system. Each scan will take approximately 20 minutes.
The investigator will report the functional connectivity networks of the Pearson correlation coefficient which ranges from 0 (no correlation) to 100 (perfect correlation). |
Up to 1 month | |
Secondary | Change in anti-inflammatory cytokines as assessed by serum cytokine biomarkers | A 15-mL blood sample will be drawn at each time point and blood samples will be collected using standard phlebotomy procedures and will be transferred and processed at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (JHSON) basic science laboratory (coagulation and serum separation by centrifugation). Serum will be stored at -80 °C at the JHSON. Once the study collection is completed, a panel of cytokines will be measured in diluted samples using the bio-plex pro-human chemokine panel.
The investigator will report the number of participants that have a change in any anti-inflammatory cytokines level greater than 50 percent of baseline |
