Evaluation in the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain Post Breast Surgery

Breast Cancer Patient

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Europe. Therefore, breast cancer has become a chronic disease and patients need to learn to live with it as well as with the adverse effects related to the disease itself or to the therapies used. As noted in the third "Plan cancer", pain is a major criterion in the quality of life of patients treated for breast cancer. Neuropathic pain was defined in 2011 by the international Association for the Study of Pain (I.A.S.P.) as the direct result of a lesion or disease affecting the somato-sensory system. Surgical treatment is often the first treatment of breast cancer. It can be conservative by performing a partial mastectomy (lumpectomy or quadrantectomy) or non-preservative by total mastectomy. Intercostobrachial neuralgia (NICB) or Post mastectomy painful Syndrome (MPRR) was first described by Wood in 1978 as "chronic pain beginning immediately or early after a mastectomy" Or a lumpectomy affecting the anterior thorax, armpit and/or arm in its upper half. These post-surgical pains are related to a lesion of the nerves in the breast area. In particular, the intercostobrachial nerve can be severed, stretched or crushed during surgery. Post-operative neuropathic pain in patients with breast cancer is underdiagnosed either by general practitioner or in a specialized environment. The diagnosis of neuropathic pain is performed during examination and clinical examination. Several scales allow to detect neuropathic pain but only the DN4 is recognized to be the most specific and sensitive scale. Patients do not always express this pain. They do not always reconcile with the surgery. Either because the pain occurs a long time after the surgery, or they find it normal to get hurt. These diagnostic difficulties cause a delay in setting up a suitable analgesic treatment. However, neuropathic pain responds poorly to common analgesics. Diagnosis, evaluation and early management of neuropathic pain are a priority in order to avoid their chronicization, to improve the quality of life of patients with breast cancer and to enable them to return to work quickly. We therefore assume that the diagnosis of early neuropathic pain at 2 months of surgery associated with initiation of appropriate topical treatment without the systemic effects of conventional oral treatments, would reduce the incidence of Chronic neuropathic pain 6 months after surgery.

Pilot Study in Order to Evaluate Disconfort Among Outpatients Using actiTENS for Neuropathic Pain...

Neuropathic Pain

Non-pharmacological treatments for pain relief are more and more used in clinical care although any scientific validation. Among the non-pharmacological treatments of neuropathic pain relief, TENS (Electrical Nerve Stimulation Therapy) is the major treatment with the best benefit. Unfortunately, the use of TENS by patients appears very difficult. Because of this inconvenience, more than 40% of TENS users interrupt the treatment despite treatment benefit. A new TENS device: actiTENS that seems to be less constraining than TENS is now available in France. ActiTENS efficacy and safety compared to TENS need to be investigated. The main objective is to evaluate and to compare the use of actiTENS, with TENS Eco 2, the classical device in patients with chronic neuropathic pain.

Pain, Psychological, and Endocannabinoid Responses to Yoga in Breast Cancer Survivors With Chemotherapy-induced...

Breast CancerChemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy1 more

This study evaluates the acute effect of aerobic exercise and yoga on pain, plasma levels of endocannabinoids, and mood (i.e., mood disturbance and anxiety). Participants will complete three separate sessions on different days. The first session is a familiarization session in which participants complete questionnaires and are familiarized with the experimental protocols. During the second and third sessions, outcomes are measured before and after the participants complete either 44 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise (i.e., walking on a treadmill) or 44 minutes of yoga.
