The purpose of this integrative review of the literature is to synthesize the current evidence and identify gaps in knowledge regarding the effectiveness of acupuncture to treat chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane Review databases were searched using inclusion criteria: keywords acupuncture, cancer, and peripheral neuropathy, published in English, between 2009 and 2019. Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria. The literature indicates that acupuncture is generally well tolerated by patients with cancer, and a majority of patients with CIPN reported decreased pain and increased quality of life after receiving acupuncture treatment. A comprehensive understanding of the ability of acupuncture to treat CIPN is limited by variability of acupuncture techniques and inconsistency in measures of evaluation.
本综合性文献综述的目的是综合当前证据，并找出关于针灸治疗化疗引起的周围神经病变（CIPN）有效性方面的知识空白。使用纳入标准检索了PubMed、CINAHL、科学网和Cochrane系统评价数据库：2009年至2019年间发表的英文关键词为针灸、癌症和周围神经病变的文献。16篇文章符合纳入标准。文献表明，癌症患者对针灸的耐受性一般良好，大多数CIPN患者报告在接受针灸治疗后疼痛减轻，生活质量提高。由于针灸技术的变异性和评估方法的不一致性，对针灸治疗CIPN能力的全面理解受到限制。
