Deb: the question in the thread is:
-Is the Rebuilder an effective treatment for CIPN?
-Potential Journal articles that may support this modality as a viable
treatment.
Thanks so much,

I'm confused. In the email string about the Rebuilder, Perry Ashley stated:
Basically the device is utilized to help refill blood capillaries and help
regain sensation through the legs and feet. However, you are stating it is a
placebo effect. Does this device provide a true physiological effect or a
placebo effect. Or maybe I missed some of the conversation.Thank you for
helping me understand this.

And the greater the patient compliance and attention to the protocol use of
the device, the stronger the placebo effect. Chances are the same sort of
neuropathic distractive effect with placebo could be delivered in a variety
of ways at less expense. Be creative or design a RCT with a placebo device!
