Abstract
    [Objective] To explore the effects of Danggui Sini Decoction on neurotoxicity response and Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS)score in patients with chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity(CIPN). [Methods] From October 2021 to October 2023,88 patients who underwent chemotherapy and developed neurotoxicity in our hospital were randomly divided into Western medicine group(1 case dropped out,n=43,treated with methylcobalamin)and Chinese-Western medicine group(2 cases dropped out,n=42,treated with Danggui Sini Decoction in addition to the Western medicine group)using a random number table method. The changes in National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(NCI-CTCAE)grading,nerve conduction velocity(including motor nerve conduction velocity(MNCV)and sensory nerve conduction velocity(SNCV)),serum nerve growth factor(NGF) level,KPS score,adverse reactions and quality of life were compared between the two groups before and after 4 weeks of treatment. [Results] After 4 weeks of treatment,the NCI-CTCAE grading of both groups was better than before treatment(P<0.05),and the NCI-CTCAE grading of the Chinese-Western medicine group was better than that of the Western medicine group(P<0.05);the MNCV and SNCV of the median nerve and common peroneal nerve in both groups were faster than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the nerve conduction velocity in the Chinese-Western medicine group was faster than that in the Western medicine group(P<0.05);the serum NGF level,KPS score,physical function,emotional function and social function scores of both groups were higher than before treatment(P<0.05),and the Chinese-Western medicine group was higher than the Western medicine group (P<0.05). There was no difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the Chinese-Western medicine group and the Western medicine group(11.90% vs. 6.98%,P>0.05). [Conclusion] The application of Danggui Sini Decoction has a better therapeutic effect on CIPN patients,which can effectively upregulate serum NGF level,obviously improve nerve conduction velocity and condition,and significantly enhance health level and quality of life.
