Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The trial is a clinical, single-center, randomized trial study that will involve 30 adult cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy randomized into two groups (control and acupuncture treated with 10 sessions, 2X per week). Both CIPN patients groups will be submitted to a complete physical examination and to clinical assessments with National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Scale Version 2.0, Functional Independence Measure Scale, European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 Scale and Visual Analogue Scale for pain before treatment and in 5 weeks of follow-up after treatment.
