简要总结

RATIONALE: Electronic stimulation using a MC5-A Scrambler may help relieve pain in patients who develop peripheral neuropathy while undergoing chemotherapy treatments for cancer.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well MC5-A Scrambler therapy works in reducing peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine if MC5-A Scrambler therapy will improve the pain associated with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in cancer patients by 20%.

Secondary

  • To evaluate the effect of MC5-A therapy on specific pain and neuropathy scales.
  • To evaluate the effect of MC5-A therapy on overall quality of life.
  • To evaluate the effect of MC5-A therapy on other pain drugs used.
  • To evaluate the toxicities of MC5-A therapy.

入选标准

  • •DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
  • •Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) meeting the following criteria:
  • •More than 4 weeks since prior neurotoxic chemotherapy including taxanes (e.g., paclitaxel or docetaxel), platinum-based compounds (e.g., carboplatin, cis-platinum, oxaliplatin), vinca-alkaloids (e.g., vincristine, vinblastine, or vinorelbine), or proteosome inhibitors (e.g., bortezomib)
  • •Pain or symptoms of peripheral neuropathy for ≥ 1 month attributed to CIPN
  • •Pain stable for ≥ 2 weeks
  • •Average daily pain rating of ≥ 5 out of 10 using the pain numerical rating scale (0 is no pain and 10 is worst pain possible)
  • •No symptomatic brain metastases
  • •PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • •ECOG performance status 0-2
  • •Life expectancy ≥ 3 months
  • •Not pregnant or nursing
  • •Negative pregnancy test
  • •Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • •No history of an allergic reaction or intolerance to transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation
  • •No pacemaker or implantable drug-delivery system (e.g., Medtronic Synchromed)
  • •No heart stent or vena cava clips
  • •No history of epilepsy or brain damage
  • •No other identified causes of painful paresthesias existing before chemotherapy (e.g., radiation or malignant plexopathy, lumbar or cervical radiculopathy, pre-existing peripheral neuropathy of another etiology [e.g., B12 deficiency, AIDS, monoclonal gammopathy, diabetes, heavy metal poisoning amyloidosis, syphilis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, inherited neuropathy, etc.])
  • •No skin conditions (e.g., open sores) that would prevent proper application of the electrodes
  • •No other medical or other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigators, might compromise the objectives of the study
  • •PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • •See Disease Characteristics
  • •At least 30 days since prior and no concurrent investigational agents for pain control
  • •More than 4 weeks since prior and no concurrent celiac plexus block or other neurolytic pain control treatment
  • •No prior or concurrent anti-convulsants
  • •No concurrent neurotoxic or potentially neurotoxic chemotherapy
  • •Concurrent pain treatments allowed provided the following criteria are met:
  • •Pain is not satisfactorily controlled
  • •Dose of the other medication has been stable for ≥ 4 weeks
