conferenceObject Rehabilitation in lung cancer(2013) BRITO, C. M. M.; ALMEIDA, E. M. P. de; SAUL, M.; CECATTO, R. B.; ANDRADE, R. G.; IMAMURA, M.; BATTISTELLA, L. R.- Acupuncture for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy: a randomised controlled pilot study(2022) D'ALESSANDRO, Eduardo Guilherme; NAGY, Daniela Ribeiro Nebuloni; BRITO, Christina May Moran de; ALMEIDA, Elisangela Pinto Marinho; BATTISTELLA, Linamara Rizzo; CECATTO, Rebeca BoltesChemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) can cause loss of independence and poor quality of life (QoL) due to severe disabilities, but in spite of its importance there is still a lack of data for the management of CIPN. Acupuncture has showed promising results and may be a cost-effective option for the treatment. Objectives To evaluate the effect of acupuncture treatment on neurological symptoms of CIPN and QoL of oncological patients. Methods We performed a clinical, single-centre, randomised and controlled pilot study that involved 33 adult patients with cancer and CIPN randomised into two groups (control and acupuncture treated with 10 sessions, two times per week). Both groups were subjected to a complete physical examination and clinical assessment with National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Scale V.2.0, FIM Scale, European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core (EORTC QLQ-C30) Scale and Visual Analogue Scale for pain before and 5 weeks after treatment. Results There were no adverse events, and we found statistical differences in groups in physical (p=0.03) and function (p=0.04) domains of EORTC QLQ-C30 when comparing control and acupuncture groups. About NCI CTCAE Scale and neuropathy sensory symptoms, we found better results in acupuncture group, comparing pretreatment and post-treatment analyses (p=0.01). In control group, we have no differences after 5 weeks (p=0.11). Conclusion Although these results suggest an interesting effect of acupuncture on this patient population, the clinical significance has remained unclear. Given the tendency towards benefit and the lack of adverse effects, the authors recommend a follow-up acupuncture trial using higher follow-up time and better sample size.
- Early mobilization programme improves functional capacity after major abdominal cancer surgery: a randomized controlled trial(2017) ALMEIDA, E. P. M. de; ALMEIDA, J. P. de; LANDONI, G.; GALAS, F. R. B. G.; FUKUSHIMA, J. T.; FOMINSKIY, E.; BRITO, C. M. M. de; CAVICHIO, L. B. L.; ALMEIDA, L. A. A. de; RIBEIRO- JR., U.; OSAWA, E. A.; DIZ, M. P. E.; CECATTO, R. B.; BATTISTELLA, L. R.; HAJJAR, L. A.Background: Major abdominal oncology surgery is associated with substantial postoperative loss of functional capacity, and exercise may be an effective intervention to improve outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess efficacy, feasibility and safety of a supervised postoperative exercise programme. Methods: We performed a single-blind, parallel-arm, randomized trial in patients who underwent major abdominal oncology surgery in a tertiary university hospital. Patients were randomized to an early mobilization postoperative programme based on supervised aerobic exercise, resistance and flexibility training or to standard rehabilitation care. The primary outcome was inability to walk without human assistance at postoperative day 5 or hospital discharge. Results: A total of 108 patients were enrolled, 54 into the early mobilization programme group and 54 into the standard rehabilitation care group. The incidence of the primary outcome was nine (16.7%) and 21 (38.9%), respectively (P = 0.01), with an absolute risk reduction of 22.2% [95% confidence interval (CI) 5.9-38.6] and a number needed to treat of 5 (95% CI 3-17). All patients in the intervention group were able to follow at least partially the exercise programme, although the performance among them was rather heterogeneous. There were no differences between groups regarding clinical outcomes or complications related to the exercises. Conclusions: An early postoperative mobilization programme based on supervised exercises seems to be safe and feasible and improves functional capacity in patients undergoing major elective abdominal oncology surgery. However, its impact on clinical outcomes is still unclear.
