This study aims to show the efficacy and safety of ultra-sound guided peri-neural platelet rich injection in treatment of chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy.
This study is prospective, randomized, assessor blinded controlled trial. It is aims to study the effect of perineural platelet rich plasma injection in cancer patients with prepheral neuropathy despite of stoppage chemotherapy for 6 months and usage of medical treatment.
Ultrasound-guided PRP injection will be performed after preparation of plasma obtained from the patient by using 10-19 MHz high frequency linear transducer to scan the superficial nerves.
