Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists01:28

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists

485
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy.  SP binds and activates...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Dopamine Receptor Antagonists01:29

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Dopamine Receptor Antagonists

749
Dopamine receptor antagonists, also known as antipsychotic agents, are critical in managing chemotherapy-induced vomiting. These antiemetic agents block dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), inhibiting signal transmission to the vomiting center. Antipsychotic agents encompass phenothiazines (PTZ), butyrophenones, benzamides, and thienobenzodiazepines (Zyprexa), which are utilized for their antiemetic and sedative properties.
Phenothiazines, such as prochlorperazine...

Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers01:24

Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers

1.3K
Local anesthetics (LAs) block the sodium channels of nerve trunks, sensory nerve endings, and neuromuscular junctions. Although LAs can block all kinds of nerves, the sensitivity of nerve fibers differs according to nerve types and structures. LAs are known to block myelinated fibers faster than unmyelinated ones. Also, they block pain or sensory neurons at low concentrations without affecting the motor neurons involved in muscle contractions. This helps relieve labor pain without affecting the...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists01:27

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists

549
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation01:21

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

285
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Summary

PainVision (PV) offers a quantitative assessment for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), correlating well with subjective scales like VAS but not with certain quantitative tests. Further refinement of PV for CIPN evaluation is needed.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Oncology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Current chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) assessment relies on subjective methods like the visual analogue scale (VAS).
  • Quantitative sensory and nociception assessment tools are needed for objective CIPN evaluation.
  • Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer frequently causes CIPN, complicating treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the quantitative PainVision (PV) instrument with existing subjective and objective methods for assessing CIPN.
  • To evaluate the correlation between PV scores and traditional VAS scores in patients undergoing oxaliplatin treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 73 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin were evaluated.
  • Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) was assessed using PainVision (PV), visual analogue scale (VAS) for hands and feet, FACT/GOG-NTX, Disk-Criminator, and monofilament test.
  • Data from 483 total evaluations (median six per patient) were analyzed for correlations between methods.

Main Results:

  • PainVision (PV) scores showed significant correlations with VAS (hand and foot) and FACT/GOG-NTX.
  • PV did not correlate with the Disk-Criminator or monofilament test, indicating limitations in assessing certain sensory aspects.
  • Average scores were VAS (hand) 18.4, VAS (foot) 23.8, and PV 24.7.

Conclusions:

  • PainVision (PV) demonstrates potential as a quantitative tool for assessing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), particularly correlating with subjective pain reports.
  • Further development and validation are necessary to enhance the utility of PV for comprehensive CIPN evaluation.
  • PV's current limitations suggest a need for complementary objective tests in clinical practice.
