Ohrpunktakupressur zur Behandlung von Chemotherapie-induzierter Neuropathie

9. Juli 2026 aktualisiert von: Jennifer Kawi, The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Die vorgeschlagene randomisierte Kontrollstudie wird die Aurikularpunktakupressur (APA) bei Chemotherapie-induzierter Neuropathie (CIN) bewerten, wobei Punktspezifität und Placebo-Effekte streng berücksichtigt werden, indem Selbstberichtsmaße, psychophysische Maße (QST), endogene Biomarker (Zytokine) und Neuro - Bildgebung zur Untersuchung der Wirksamkeit von APA und der zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen.

Die Ermittler werden eine randomisierte Kontrollstudie mit drei Gruppendesign verwenden: (1) APA-Gruppe, (2) Schein-APA-Kontrolle und (3) Kontrolle der üblichen Pflege. Eine Smartphone-Anwendung für die ökologische Momentanbewertung (EMA) wird verwendet, um die APA-Einhaltung zu überwachen und den momentanen CIN-Schweregrad und die Verwendung von Analgetika zu erfassen.

Studienübersicht

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Chemotherapie-induzierte Neuropathie (CIN) – Schmerzen, Taubheitsgefühl oder Kribbeln in Händen und Füßen – führt zu anhaltenden Symptomen, die die Empfindung und das Gleichgewicht bei Krebsüberlebenden beeinträchtigen. Bis zu 50 % der Krebsüberlebenden leiden 6 Jahre nach der Behandlung immer noch an CIN. Duloxetin, das einzige von der American Society of Clinical Oncology empfohlene Medikament, erwies sich gegenüber Placebo als überlegen, verbesserte die CIN jedoch nur um 0,73 Punkte (Skala von 0-10). Abgesehen von körperlicher Betätigung wurde keine wirksame Behandlung für CIN etabliert, mit einer Effektgröße von <0,508. Opioide lindern CIN-Schmerzen, aber von einer Langzeitanwendung wird aufgrund des Opioid-Übergebrauchs dringend abgeraten.

Die Forscher schlagen vor, die Ohrpunktakupressur (APA) zu testen, eine innovative und skalierbare Lösung, die aus der Ohrakupunktur entwickelt wurde. APA ist eine nicht-invasive (nadellose) und aktive Behandlung für Schmerzpatienten, während Akupunktur eine invasive (mit Nadeln) und passive Behandlung (durchgeführt von einem zugelassenen Arzt) ist. Bei APA werden kleine Samen von einem erfahrenen Anbieter auf bestimmte Ohrpunkte geklebt und die Patienten drücken dreimal täglich drei Minuten lang auf die Samen, um die Ohrpunkte zu stimulieren, insgesamt neun Minuten pro Tag. APA bietet Schmerzlinderung innerhalb von 1-2 Minuten nach der Ohrstimulation und hält die Schmerzlinderung für einen Monat nach einer 4-wöchigen APA-Intervention aufrecht. APA ist in Taiwan, China und Europa beliebt. Obwohl seine Verwendung in den USA spärlich ist, hat eine begrenzte Anzahl klinischer Studien APA bei der Schmerzbehandlung unterstützt.

Experimental Pain Sensitivity as Assessed by a Multimodal Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) Battery - Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT)-Trapezius
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 1 month after Baseline
In order to measure experimental pain sensitivity, a multimodal Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) battery will be completed: pressure pain threshold (PPT), Mechanical Temporal Summation (MTS), and Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM). To assess PPT, a handheld digital pressure algometer (Wagner, Greenwich, CT) was applied at a constant rate of 2.9 Newton per centimeter squared (N/cm^2) per second to the participant's trapezius and thumbs. Participants were asked to notify the experimenter when the pressure sensation ''first becomes painful." The pressure at which participants indicated that the pressure sensation ''first becomes painful" is reported.

Experimental Pain Sensitivity as Assessed by a Multimodal Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) Battery - Mechanical Temporal Summation (MTS)
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 1 month after Baseline
In order to measure experimental pain sensitivity, a multimodal Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) battery will be completed: pressure pain threshold (PPT), Mechanical Temporal Summation (MTS), and Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM). To assess MTS, a single pinprick stimulus (e.g., via a weighted pinprick stimulator or Neuropen) is applied, followed by a series of 10 rapid, identical stimuli at the same location, usually at a rate of 1/second, to measure the change in pain sensation. Participants rate their pain after the stimuli using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain imaginable. A higher score means greater pain sensitivity and increased temporal summation. MTS is calculated as the increase in pain intensity rating (Δ change score) between the first stimulus and the end of the series.

Biomarker concentrations were analyzed as indicators of inflammatory response at baseline and 1 month after baseline.
