ABSTRACT
A 70-year-old woman was diagnosed with peripheral T-cell lymphoma and received chemotherapy. She developed chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), and her chief complaint was numbness of her fingertips and toes. However, the symptoms did not change even 9 months after the chemotherapy was completed. Our Kampo diagnosis was dual deficiency of qi (ki) and blood. Hence, we applied pedestal moxibustions to the following acupuncture points SP 6 (Sanyinjiao), Ex-LE 10 (Bafeng), Ex-UE 9 (Baxie), CV 4 (Guanyuan). Her symptoms improved rapidly after moxibustion treatment. There were neither adverse events nor relapse of the numbness. Moxibustion treatment might reduce symptoms of CIPN.
