Photobiomodulation for Prevention of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Women With Breast Cancer
Peripheral Nervous System Diseases AND Breast Neoplasms
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Peripheral Nervous System Diseases AND Breast Neoplasms focused on measuring Breast cancer, Peripheral neuropathy, Chemotherapy, Photobiomodulation
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Women aged over 18 years, with breast cancer in stages I to IIIC and who have an indication for curative treatment with neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy in HCIII/INCA. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with a previous diagnosis of another primary cancer Patients undergoing surgery and/or chemotherapy at another Institution Patients who previously had altered sensitivity in the feet Patients who are unable to respond to questionnaires Patients unable to receive photobiomodulation due to acute lower limb infections

Time of Applications will for 20 minutes on each extremity (foot soles), until the last day of chemotherapy treatment. The sequential LED treatments will be administered by the Sportllux Ultra model (Cosmedical) in a predefined cycle, with the combination of light emitters in two wavelengths: 42 red (660nm) and 42 infrared (850nm); LED blanket in the size of 10x12 cm; average power of each LED: 5mW; operating mode: continuous; polarization: random; irradiance at the opening of each LED: 25mW/cm2; opening diameter of each LED: 10mm; application time: 1 session of 20 minutes; power per LED: 30mW; radiant exposure: 36J/cm2 during 20 minutes of application. Tissue from the lower limb extremities will come into contact with the LED panel during treatment to ensure even delivery of photobiomodulation. The panels are large enough to more than cover the entire edge area at one time during application.
Time of Applications will be for 20 minutes on each extremity (foot soles), until the last day of chemotherapy treatment. The sequential LED treatments will be administered by the Sportllux Ultra model (Cosmedical) in a predefined cycle, with the combination of light emitters in three wavelengths: 18 red (660nm), 18 infrared (850nm) and 36 violet (420nm). ); LED blanket in the size of 10x12 cm; average power of each LED: 5mW; operating mode: continuous; polarization: random; irradiance at the opening of each LED: 25mW/cm2; opening diameter of each LED: 10mm; application time: 1 session of 20 minutes; power per LED: 30mW; radiant exposure: 36J/cm2 during 20 minutes of application. Tissue from the lower limb extremities will come into contact with the LED panel during treatment to ensure even delivery of photobiomodulation. The panels are large enough to more than cover the entire edge area at one time during application.
Applications of the LED board will be performed daily for 20 minutes on each extremity (foot soles), until the last day of chemotherapy treatment. The sequential LED treatments will be administered by the Sportllux Ultra (Cosmedical) model without the light emitting combination. LED blanket in the size of 10x12 cm and application time: 1 session of 20 minutes. Tissue from the lower limb extremities will come into contact with the LED panel during treatment to ensure even delivery of photobiomodulation. The panels are large enough to more than cover the entire edge area at one time during application. Women will receive a booklet with guidelines for the correct use of the LED board and will be instructed to continue their usual physical activities and mark the daily frequency of application of the LED board
