Abstract

Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a significant side effect of some chemotherapeutic agents. Effective treatment is limited.

Objectives: This single patient case details gua sha as an intervention to reduce CIPN.

Methods: A 38-year-old female patient received weekly treatment of gua sha in one-hour sessions for 10 weeks. The patient completed the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-NTX) subscale to describe her CIPN throughout and postintervention. A research assistant measured the extent of numbness or tingling along the limb from baseline to 18 months after gua sha. Descriptive data were used to summarize this case.

Findings: After gua sha, the total FACT/GOG-NTX subscale score increased from 13 to 36, indicating a sevenfold greater change than the minimum clinically important difference. The range of limb numbness and tingling decreased, and the symptoms remained stable during follow-up. Gua sha showed a positive clinical effect.

探索刮痧疗法治疗化疗引起的周围神经病变：单个病例报告与批判性分析

背景：化疗引起的周围神经病变（CIPN）是某些化疗药物的一个重要副作用。有效的治疗方法有限：本病例详细介绍了刮痧作为减少 CIPN 的干预方法：一名 38 岁的女性患者接受了每周一次、每次一小时的刮痧治疗，为期 10 周。患者完成了癌症治疗功能评估/妇科肿瘤组-神经毒性（FACT/GOG-NTX）分量表，以描述她在干预期间和干预后的CIPN情况。一名研究助理测量了从基线到刮痧后 18 个月的肢体麻木或刺痛程度。描述性数据用于总结本病例：刮痧后，FACT/GOG-NTX 分量表的总分从 13 分增加到了 36 分，表明其变化比最小临床重要性差异大七倍。肢体麻木和刺痛的范围缩小，随访期间症状保持稳定。刮痧具有积极的临床效果。
