Sound Acupuncture in Painful Chemotherapy-Related Neuropathies

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of sound acupuncture in combination with traditional medical therapy in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathies.

Sound acupuncture is a non-invasive technique that involves stimulating energy points, used in acupuncture, with the help of specific tuning forks and the frequencies they emit.

The energy points are those used in Chinese medicine and, more specifically, in acupuncture.

The aim is to restore the recipient's complex bioenergetic system to an optimal state of well-being and balance

Participants:

20 patients will receive only the best medical therapy; 20 patients will receive BMT and sound acupuncture treatment
