Pyridoxine for Prevention of Hand-Foot Syndrome Caused by Chemotherapy: A Systematic Review

The conclusion of this study published in 2013:
There is inadequate evidence to make any recommendation about using pyridoxine for prevention of HFS caused by chemotherapy. However, pyridoxine 400 mg may have some efficacy. Further studies of large sample sizes are needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pyridoxine, especially at high dose, in comparison with placebo.

Perhaps there is newer information? Check out the cited by list in the column to the right of the article.

I have neuropathy in my feet as a result of chemotherapy for triple negative breast cancer. My treatment ended three years ago.

My integrative medicine doctor recommends acupuncture and/or therapeutic massage. I have not tried either of these possible remedies yet as my neuropathy is annoying more than debilitating.

Best wishes.
