Təsvir
This will be a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 80 cancer patients that will receive chemotherapy treatment with capecitabine and/or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. The selection of potential participants will be based on pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients will be randomly allocated either to the treatment group or the placebo group. Treatment will be delivered twice a week and assessments will take place at 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 weeks.
The intervention group will receive the application of henna to the hands and/or feet of the patients and the control group will receive the placebo.
At both baseline and follow-up, patients in both groups will be assessed for their degree of palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, the Quality of Life, the need for dose-limiting due to PPE and Pain intensity using standardized rating scales. Data will be analysed with inferential and descriptive statistics.
