Newest firstIntroduction Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) can greatly impair function, leading to disability or truncated treatment in cancer patients. Previous animal studies show that cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can ameliorate CIPN. This study assessed the effect of combined CBD and THC on CIPN symptoms amongst cancer patients treated with taxane- or platinum-based agents. Mate…
Open article record in new tab ↗Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a major long-lasting side effect of some chemotherapy drugs, which threatens cancer survival rate. CIPN mostly affects sensory neurons and occasionally motor neurons, causing numbness, tingling, discomfort, and burning pain in the upper and lower extremities. The pathophysiology of CIPN is not completely understood; however, it is believed that chemotherapies in…
Open article record in new tab ↗Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a clinical challenge for up to 80% of breast cancer survivors. In an open-label study, participants underwent three interventions: standard care (duloxetine) for 1 month (Phase 1), oral cannabidiol (CBD) for 2 months (Phase 2), and CBD plus multi-modal exercise (MME) for another 2 months (Phase 3). Clinical outcomes and gut microbiota composition were asses…
Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) is a dose-limiting toxicity characterised by mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, without any licensed medications. ART26.12 is a fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) 5 inhibitor with antinociceptive properties, characterised here for the prevention and treatment of OIPN. ART26.12 binds selectively to FABP5 compared to FABP3, FABP4, and FABP7, with minimal of…
Background Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a common and often severe side effect from many chemotherapeutic agents, with limited treatment options. There is no literature on the use of topical cannabinoids for chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. Case presentations The current manuscript presents a case series of patients presenting in oncology clinics at Sutter Health, CA and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN…
