Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop a standard instrument of pattern identification and evaluation for chemotherapyinduced
peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
Methods: The advisory committee for this study was organized by 12 professors of traditional Korean medicine from the
Korean Association of Traditional Oncology. The items and structure of the instrument were designed based on a review of previous
publications. We revised the instrument in consultation with the advisory committee and received additional advice via email.
Results: We divided the symptoms and signs of CIPN into four pattern identifications: wind arthralgia (風痺), cold arthralgia
(寒痺), dampness arthralgia (濕痺), and arthralgia of the deficiency type (虛痺). We obtained the mean weights to reflect the
standard deviations from each symptom of the four pattern identifications, which were scored on a 5-point scale by the advisor
committee. After we obtained the answers to discrimination between variable symptoms (變症) and ordinary symptoms (素症)
from the 12 experts, we gained the final weight from the combination of the ratio of pattern identification to the number of
total answers of the advisory committee and the mean weight.
Conclusions: The Instrument on Pattern Identification and Evaluation for CIPN was developed through a discussion
between 12 experts. There was a limitation that the validity and reliability of this instrument have not been proven. However,
the significance of this study was that it is the first Instrument on Pattern Identification and Evaluation aimed at assessing
CIPN in traditional Korean medicine.
