Abstract EN
Peripheral neuropathy is a common and severe dose-limiting side effect of the chemotherapy agent, bortezomib, in multiple myeloma patients.
Treatment with narcotics, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants has limited response and potential significant side effects.
Acupuncture has been reported to be effective in treating diabetic neuropathy and chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy.
There has not been report on the effect of acupuncture in treating bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy specifically.
Here, we report a successful case of using acupuncture to relieve bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy symptoms.
