ABSTRACT: Interventions: Huo Xue Tong Luo Decoction will be provided as a whole concentrated granulated extract (45 g) (Salvia miltiorrhiza; Carthamus tinctorius L.;Paeonia veitchii; Ligusticum Siense; Angelica sinensis; Prunus persica; Rehmannia glutinosa; Polygonum bistort; Ginger) for topical use.
Participants will dissolve daily sachets in a basin with 3 litres of warm water (approximately 37- 40 degrees) at home. Once the sachet is dissolved, participants will soak both hands in the basin for 20 minutes, and then soak both feet for 20 minutes once per day. Discard the solution when finished. Participants will have a total of 40 days using HXTLD treatments (5 days/per cycle x 8 cycles) over the six months of chemotherapy treatment. To ensure compliance, the participants have to return each cycle’s home diary and the empty sachets at each next visit. Participants will complete eight cycles’ home intervention records with one follow up home intervention record.
Primary outcome(s): Change in the reduction of severity and/or delay onset of peripheral neuropathy by cold-evoked pain threshold measured by thermal quantitative sensory testing (QST)[before the fourth cycle of chemotherapy.]
