Summary

Perform a feasibility study on imagined acupuncture treatment of Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)

Detailed description

We will perform a pilot study to assess the feasibility of Video-Guided Acupuncture Imagery Treatment (VGAIT) on CIPN symptoms in patients with stage I-III breast cancer with persistent CIPN after adjuvant chemotherapy. Participants will receive 16 sessions of VGAIT over 8 weeks remotely through the zoom. Study measures will be collected at the time of study enrollment, week 4, and week 8. The primary endpoints of the study will be 1) retention to treatment; 2) satisfaction for the intervention and 3) completion of study assessments.
