Research project funded by NCI to study acupuncture's effects on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy through clinical trials and advanced biological methods.
Description
This is a research project funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under grant PAR-21-138. The project focuses on investigating the neurobiological mechanisms of acupuncture in reducing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) pain. The project involves clinical trials, neuroimaging, skin biopsies, and lipidomics/metabolomics approaches. The project aims to generate preliminary data to inform future definitive clinical trials. The project is part of the NIH research initiatives and involves multidisciplinary collaboration.
