Abstract (English): Background: Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) is the main complication in cancer survivors, causing pain and other sensory alterations. Electrotherapy with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-pharmacological resource for pain management, which consists of superficial application of alternate electrical current with cutaneous electrodes; being a safe, economical and portable alternative. Objective: to evaluate the effect of TENS on neuropathic pain and other sensory symptoms caused by CIPN secondary to platinum in patients with colon or rectal cancer. Material and methods: a quasi-experimental study was conducted involving 10 rehabilitation sessions with TENS and sensory re-education to the patient group. Evaluations of neuropathic pain; superficial, deep and painful sensory alterations and single leg balance with eyes open and closed were performed before and after the intervention. Results: 14 patients were recruited, all treated with platinum-based agents. Improvements were found in neuropathic pain (p < 0.001), sensory alterations (p < 0.001) and single leg balance with eyes open (p < 0.001) and closed (p < 0.05). Conclusions: rehabilitation with TENS and sensory re-education in patients with CIPN secondary to platinum-based agents significantly reduced neuropathic pain, sensory alterations (superficial, deep and painful) and improved single leg balance time with eyes open and closed.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: la neuropatía periférica inducida por quimioterapia (NPIQ) es la principal complicación en los pacientes supervivientes de cáncer, causando dolor y otras alteraciones sensitivas. La electroterapia con estimulación nerviosa eléctrica transcutánea (TENS) es un recurso no farmacológico para el manejo del dolor, que consiste en aplicación superficial de corriente eléctrica alterna a través de electrodos cutáneos; siendo una alternativa segura, económica y portátil. Objetivo: evaluar el efecto de la TENS en el dolor neuropático y otros síntomas sensitivos causados por la NPIQ secundaria a platinos en los pacientes con cáncer de colon o recto. Material y métodos: estudio cuasiexperimental, se intervino con 10 sesiones de rehabilitación con TENS y reeducación sensorial a este grupo de pacientes. Se evaluó el dolor neuropático, las alteraciones sensitivas superficiales, profundas y dolorosas, además del equilibrio monopodal con ojos abiertos y cerrados, antes y después de la intervención del tratamiento. Resultados: se reclutaron 14 pacientes, todos recibieron tratamiento con oxaliplatino. Se encontró mejoría en relación al dolor neuropático (p < 0.001), las alteraciones sensitivas (p < 0.001) y equilibrio monopodal de ambos pies con ojos abiertos (p < 0.001) y cerrados (p < 0.05). Conclusiones: la rehabilitación con TENS y la reeducación sensorial en pacientes con NPIQ secundaria a oxaliplatino disminuyó el dolor neuropático, las alteraciones sensitivas (superficiales, profundas, dolorosas) y el tiempo de equilibrio monopodal en ambos pies con los ojos abiertos y cerrados.
