Summary

Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common side effects of oxaliplatin (OXA)-based chemotherapy for patients treated for digestive cancers, disabling and dose-limiting. Several strategies have been studied for the treatment of oxaliplatin-related sensory neuropathy. Several pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic strategies have been explored to relieve peripheral neuropathic pain. Non-pharmacological interventions have been shown to be potentially beneficial for patients suffering from chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity. The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation on the reduction of neuropathic pain in patients who developed painful, cumulative peripheral neuropathy that appeared under the effect of the treatment.

Conditions

  • Cancer of the Gastrointestinal Tract

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Photobiomodulation

In oncology, photobiomodulation is used to help heal damaged tissues, improve immune response, reduce inflammation, and prevent or treat certain side effects of treatments such as chemotherapy. Photobiomodulation is also the subject of recent clinical studies to expand its indications (peripheral neuropathies induced by certain chemotherapies. Patients in the experimental group will receive 3 photobiomodulation sessions per week during their oxaliplatin treatments (6 months), for a total of 72 sessions. Exposition to laser light is 30 minutes for each session.
