Primary outcomes
Patient-reported CIPN symptoms
Symptoms across to sensory, motor and automic domains will be measured using the questionnarie the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-CIPN twenty-item scale. The total questionnaire has a score from 0 to 100, in which a higher score indicates increased symptom burden.
Secondary outcomes
Breast cancer quality of life
assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Breast Cancer-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire. The total questionnaire has a score from 0 to 100, in which a higher score indicates increased quality of life.
CIPN severity
assessed by clinical version of The Total Neuropathy Score. Each item is scored from 0 to 4, with the total score ranging from 0 to 24 points; a higher score indicates greater neuropathy severity.
Quality of sleep
assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index that is a self-rated questionnaire which assesses sleep quality and disturbances. The global score, with a range of 0-21 points, "0" indicating no difficulty and "21" indicating severe difficulties.
