CIPN in Adjuvant Breast Cancer Patients

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect of treatment with taxanes and platinum-based drugs, significantly impacting the quality of life of oncology patients. Symptoms such as reduced sensitivity and pain may persist even after treatment ends. Research has shown that compression therapy using gloves and stockings effectively reduces the incidence of CIPN, improves patient adherence to treatment, and has no severe side effects. A study at the Chemotherapy Unit of the Comprehensive Oncology Care Clinic, Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute, will investigate the efficacy of this therapy. Tight-fitting gloves and compression stockings will be used to limit the flow of cytotoxic agents to peripheral areas. Effectiveness will be assessed through quality-of-life questionnaires, hand strength and coordination tests, and laboratory analyses to identify predictive markers of neuropathy. The study aims to enhance CIPN prevention and integrate this method into clinical practice.

To conduct a two-arm, parallel, prospective, randomized controlled, open-label trial to compare the efficacy of the novel drug mirogabalin with the conventional treatment duloxetine in reducing pain associated with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). There will be a difference in pain reduction after 4 weeks of treatment between the mirogabalin group and the duloxetine group in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Participants will: * Take drug duloxetine or a mirogabalin every day for 4 weeks. * Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests
