These results provide a basic evidence for the application of BVA as an alternative therapeutic option for the management of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy and may raise the possibility of the combinational use of BVA with well-known analgesics, such as morphine, gabapentin and antidepressants.
7 11 Analgesics such as paracetamol are also common, particularly in England.
