Handicraft classes for colorectal cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced neuropathy: improving neuropathic symptoms in hands through exercising the hand muscles


ABSTRACT: Background and study aims Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the common reasons that colorectal cancer patients cannot maintain their routine chemotherapy schedules. CIPN involves pain, numbness, tingling and sensitivity to cold in the hands and feet and is often very painful and stressful. Some medications are used for pain relief, but they are often not effective. As a result, there has been renewed interest in alternative therapies that stimulate the hand muscles, such as exercise or massage to relieve the neuropathic symptoms. This study aims to look at the effectiveness of a handicraft program as rehabilitation for colorectal cancer patients with CIPN, which involves basic craftwork to encourage the use of the minor muscles of the hands to make and decorate handicrafts. Who can participate? Adults with colorectal cancer who received chemotherapy What does the study involve? This rehabilitation program comes in the form of the handicraft class, which involves decorating crafts such as a hand mirror, a business card holder, a table clock, and a picture frame with lacquerware, using Korean traditional lacquerworks. This is performed once a week, for 2 hours per each session, for a total of 4 weeks. All volunteers will participate in same program. The effectiveness of this program will be evaluated by using a questionnaire.
