Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity and complementary and alternative medicines: progress and perspective | Ethnopharmacology

Frontiers |  Ethnopharmacology (open access)

 In summary, when considering CAMs use in the treatment of CIPN, the therapeutic potential of alternative therapies still needs to be rigorously investigated with large scale randomized controlled trials. Additionally, the interactions of CAMs with chemotherapy, potential toxicities associated herb medicines, as well as molecular mechanisms and bioactive compounds responsible for the neuroprotective effects should also be further investigated.
