Motor disorders related to oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy: long-term severity and impact on quality of life

Sensory chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is well-recognized, but motor CIPN remains understudied. This secondary analysis focused on the long-term severity and impact of motor disorders, their relation to sensory CIPN, neuropathic pain, psychological distress, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. Data from a multicenter, cross-sectional study were re-analyzed to explore motor CIPN among CRC survivors up to 5 years post-chemotherapy, with no longitudinal follow-up. Questionnaires assessed sensory and motor CIPN (QLQ-CIPN20), neuropathic pain (DN4), anxiety and depression (HADS), and HRQoL (QLQ-C30). Among 405 CRC survivors, 31.1 https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02970526?term=NCT02970526 draw=2 rank=1 .
