As one of the treatment methods for cancer, chemotherapy is becoming more and more common in the treatment of cancer, but the related adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy, such as gastrointestinal reactions, bone marrow suppression, phlebitis and peripheral neuropathy, often affect the regular treatment of patients, which greatly reduces the clinical efficacy of malignant tumors. Among them, peripheral neuropathy is one of the common adverse reactions, and the occurrence rate is as high as 60%-70% in chemotherapy drugs such as platinum and taxane. As a treasure of traditional medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has obvious advantages in improving patients' CIPN symptoms, improving their quality of life, and alleviating side effects compared with Western medicine. This requires us to further study the mechanism of action produced by it to escort the safe use of drugs for cancer patients.
