Video-Guided Acupuncture Imagery for Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Breast Cancer

The study aims to explore a new approach called Video-Guided Acupuncture Imagery Treatment (VGAIT) to help people with breast cancer who have ongoing problems with nerve pain or numbness after chemotherapy, known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). This condition often affects patients' quality of life, and finding effective ways to manage it is important. The study targets individuals with stage I-III breast cancer who continue to experience these symptoms despite completing their chemotherapy. By investigating VGAIT, the study hopes to offer a potential new method to alleviate the discomfort associated with CIPN. Participants in the study will undergo 16 sessions of VGAIT over a period of 8 weeks, conducted remotely via Zoom. The treatment involves guided imagery, which is a technique that uses visualization to help manage pain and discomfort. Researchers will evaluate how well participants continue with the treatment, how satisfied they are with this new method, and whether they complete all the study assessments. These factors will help determine the feasibility of using VGAIT for managing CIPN. The study measures are taken at the beginning, halfway through, and at the end of the 8-week period to assess the progress and effectiveness of the treatment.
