Objective : This is a case series reporting degree of response to bee venom ointment as a symptom-control therapy for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Methods : Four consecutive patients with CIPN were referred to the East-West Cancer Center from October 7th, 2013, to November 9th, 2013. Patients with CIPN were treated with bee venom ointment 1-2 times per day for 7-25 days. Visual Analog Score (VAS) pain scale was compared before and after treatment. All patients were closely examined for any allergenic responses following each treatment session. Results : Using each patient as their own comparator, marked improvements of VAS were observed in 4 patients. Most important, there were no related adverse side effects found. Conclusion : Bee venom Ointment may be considered as an complementary therapy for managing CIPN symptoms.
