Study Summary

The investigators propose that using the Diode Laser fiber type Selective Stimulator (DLss) in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) will allow for the assessment of changes in small-fiber pain thresholds, to identify differences between subjects who received chemotherapy and developed painful CIPN, compared to subjects who received similar chemotherapy but did not develop painful CIPN (control group). Additionally, the investigators would like to investigate whether the response to DLss correlates with pain severity in patients with persistent painful neuropathy. The ultimate goal of this study is to develop a non-invasive, bedside quantitative test that is specific for painful CIPN. If the investigators' initial hypothesis is confirmed, the next step would be to design a prospective longitudinal study and assess changes in DLss early after initiation of chemotherapy, to determine whether this approach can help identify early predictive parameters of painful CIPN.
