Digitopressione del punto auricolare per gestire la neuropatia indotta dalla chemioterapia

9 luglio 2026 aggiornato da: Jennifer Kawi, The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Lo studio di controllo randomizzato proposto valuterà la digitopressione del punto auricolare (APA) sulla neuropatia indotta da chemioterapia (CIN), considerando rigorosamente la specificità del punto e gli effetti placebo integrando misure di autovalutazione, misure psicofisiche (QST), biomarcatori endogeni (citochine) e neuro -imaging per studiare l'efficacia dell'APA e il/i meccanismo/i sottostante/i.

Gli investigatori utilizzeranno uno studio di controllo randomizzato, design a tre gruppi: (1) APA Group, (2) Sham APA Control e (3) Usual Care Control. Verrà utilizzata un'applicazione per smartphone per la valutazione momentanea ecologica (EMA) per monitorare l'aderenza all'APA e acquisire la gravità CIN momentanea e l'uso di analgesici.

Panoramica dello studio

Descrizione dettagliata

La neuropatia indotta da chemioterapia (CIN) - dolore, intorpidimento o formicolio distribuito nelle mani e nei piedi - produce sintomi persistenti che influenzano la sensazione e l'equilibrio nei sopravvissuti al cancro. Fino al 50% dei sopravvissuti al cancro soffre ancora di CIN 6 anni dopo il trattamento. La duloxetina, l'unico farmaco raccomandato dall'American Society of Clinical Oncology, è risultata superiore al placebo ma ha migliorato il CIN di soli 0,73 punti (scala 0-10). Non è stato stabilito alcun trattamento efficace per CIN eccetto l'esercizio, con una dimensione dell'effetto <0,508. Gli oppioidi alleviano il dolore CIN, ma l'uso a lungo termine è fortemente sconsigliato a causa dell'uso eccessivo di oppioidi.

I ricercatori propongono di testare la digitopressione del punto auricolare (APA), una soluzione innovativa e scalabile sviluppata dall'agopuntura auricolare. L'APA è un trattamento non invasivo (senza ago) e attivo per i pazienti con dolore, mentre l'agopuntura è un trattamento invasivo (utilizzando aghi) e passivo (somministrato da un professionista autorizzato). Nell'APA, piccoli semi vengono fissati con nastro adesivo su specifici punti dell'orecchio da un fornitore esperto e i pazienti premono sui semi per stimolare i punti dell'orecchio tre volte al giorno, tre minuti alla volta, per un totale di nove minuti al giorno. L'APA fornisce sollievo dal dolore entro 1-2 minuti dopo la stimolazione dell'orecchio e sostiene il sollievo dal dolore per un mese dopo un intervento APA di 4 settimane. L'APA è popolare a Taiwan, in Cina e in Europa. Sebbene il suo uso sia scarso negli Stati Uniti, un numero limitato di studi clinici ha supportato l'APA nella gestione del dolore.

Experimental Pain Sensitivity as Assessed by a Multimodal Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) Battery - Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT)-Trapezius
Lasso di tempo: 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)
Lasso di tempo: 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.
