Aim:
The study aimed at determining clinical and electromyography characteristics and developing the methods of CIPN treatment.
Material And Methods:
A clinical and electromyographic examinations and treatment of 30 with CIPN symptoms developed after polychemotherapy were performed. The authors developed treatment schemes included allopathic, homeopathic drugs, hydrotherapy and pharmacopuncture.
Results And Conclusion:
Most of the patients were diagnosed with axonal polyneuropathy with affection of long nerves of the limbs, some patients had a combination of axonopathy with myelopathy. After treatment, regression of neuropathy symptoms and improvement of quality of life was noted in all patients.
