The study is to evaluate the antiemetic effect of adding fosaprepitant to biplet regimen of tropisetron and dexamethasone for patients with cervical cancer or nasopharyngeal cancer treated with radiotherapy and concomitant weekly cisplatin chemotherapy in a south Chinese cohort.
Ovarian cancer is third most common gynecologic cancer in Thai woman, treatment including surgery followed by chemotherapy. Patient usually received paclitaxel every 3 week for 6 cycles, paclitaxel induce peripheral neuropathy is common dose dependent side effect which can disturb quality of life, result in chemotherapy dose reduction or discontinuation leading to poor prognosis and decreased survival Mechanism of PIPN including inflammation, promotion of microtubule polymerization and inhibition of depolymerization, and oxidative stress N-acetylcysteine is acetylated form of l-cysteine, might reduce oxidative stress. NAC can restore glutathione level, which is potent natural antioxidant. NAC might reduce PIPN
This study is a retrospective, observational, monocenter case series. The purpose of this study is to collect clinical data to describe the use of POLYSITE® and SEESITE® devices and verify overall safety and performance. This study is part of the Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) activities of the PEROUSE MEDICAL manufacturer. The primary data source for this study was patient's medical records from a French Hospital. The study population was defined as all patients who did receive POLYSITE® and SEESITE®. Data from a minimum of 50 patients were planned for the statistical review.
Observational, clinical study. Intention to include 40 patients (20 patients treated with trabectedin and 20 with cisplatin hypersensitivity) The investigators investigate the role of trabectedin in combination with PLD and cisplatin in treating platinum sensitive ROC being allergic to carboplatin. The investigators focus on adverse events and evaluate if these are tolerable for the patients and further evaluate the measurable treatment effect on the tumor burden.
The aim of this randomized controlled experimental study was to determine the effect of massage applied to colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy on peripheral neuropathy and quality of life.
This clinical trial compares topical cannabidiol to placebo in improving chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, or painful sensations in your hands or feet due to chemotherapy. Peripheral neuropathy is a nerve problem that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body. It usually begins in the hands or feet and gets worse over time. Peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy is called chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN is commonly seen in patients receiving certain chemotherapy medications and is hard to treat. Medications commonly used to treat CIPN have limited benefits and may cause significant side effects. A small report showed that topical cannabidiol may help treat neuropathy in patients with diabetes. This study is being done to determine if cannabidiol cream can help improve the symptoms of CIPN.
Introduction: This study has been conducted to determine the effect of music on pain and anxiety levels in patients receiving chemotherapy during COVID-19. Methods: The research has been carried out in a real trial model with adult patients receiving chemotherapy. The sample of the study is consisted of 92 patients (45 in the experimental group and 47 for the control group). The data have been collected by the researcher with Google Forms (using State and Transient Anxiety Inventory and Visual Analog Skala) between March 2020 and July 2020, through the links sent to the phones of participants on the day they received chemotherapy. Results: The mean scores obtained from the post-test STAI (53.11±4.77) and VAS (3.44±2.53) scales in the experimental group have been determined to statistically significantly decrease when compared to the pre-test measurement data (STAI:54.26±4.26; VAS:4.22±2.41) (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference has been determined between pre-test and post-test mean scores of the patients in the control group. Conclusion: It has been observed that music applications reduce the pain and anxiety levels of patients receiving chemotherapy during the COVID-19 process. It can be recommended to use music applications in the management of pain and anxiety symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of aromatherapy to reduce nausea, vomiting, and the use of anti-emetic in cancer survivors undergoing moderate to highly emetogenic chemotherapy regimens.
Nausea and vomiting are serious problems in patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation. It is stated that the incidence of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting is more than 50%, even if the patient has been given antiemetic prophylaxis during the treatment process. Breathing is the easiest relaxation exercise applied during the flow in everyday life and also one of the most important and essential parts of other relaxation exercise. The handbooks prepared for the patients undergoing chemotherapy recommend deep breathing exercises in order to prevent their nausea and vomiting. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of respiratory exercise on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Research Hypotheses Ho: Respiratory exercise is not effective in preventing chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. H1: Respiratory exercise is effective in preventing chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. In the literature, no study has been found investigating the effect of breathing exercises on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of respiratory exercise on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
