Stiffness measured on a 1-9 scale, 1 being minimal, 9 the worst ever experienced. 0=no symptom reported. For analysis the average severity of stiffness for each participant was calculated from daily calls made in weeks 3-4 of each period. (NCT00832000)

The SF-36 is a standard quality of life instrument. The mental composite score represents the the mental burden on quality of life and is a summary of questions related to mental impact of a disease or condition (mental function, role emotional, vitality, and mental health). The score is nomralized to the population and ranges from 0-100, with the US normal value of 50. A lower score represents a greater impact of quality of life. (NCT00832000)

The SF-36 is a standard quality of life instrument. The physical composite score represents the the physical burden on quality of life and is a summary of questions related to physical impact of a disease or condition (physical function, role physical, bodily pain, and general health).

The cumulative dose of oxaliplatin received over the course (up to 12 cycles) of mFOLFOX6 treatment regimen. It corresponds to the absolute summed up quantity of Oxaliplatin administered to the patient over time. There is no range for this measure. Since this is a dose-limiting neuropathy prevention study, the higher value can be interpreted as better outcome. (NCT03254394)
Timeframe: 24 weeks

"The intensity of cold pain and cold unpleasantness is evaluated separately, assessed daily on a 0-10 scale, upon holding a pre-cooled (~8°C) metal cylinder for 10 seconds. the area under the curve of cold pain and cold unpleasantness vs time is calculated per chemotherapy cycle (every two weeks) and serves as a primary outcome measure.~For intervention (lidocaine+FOLFOX) and control (placebo+FOLFOX) groups, the average of cold pain AUC and cold unpleasantness AUC over 7 cycles was calculated. The average AUCs over 7 cycles were compared between study arms.~The AUC is measured as a score on a 0-10 scale multiplied by 14 days and may range between 0 and 140. Higher AUC values represent more intense cold pain/unpleasantness." (NCT03254394)

Changes in Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) descriptors of neuropathic pain over time from baseline to cycle 3(6 weeks), cycle 6 (12 weeks), and the last follow-up (34-36 weeks). The total NPSI score ranges from 0 to 100; a higher NPSI total score represents a worse neuropathy outcome. The changes in scores from baseline are compared between study arms. (NCT03254394)

"Change in CIPN (Chemotherapy-induced peripheral Neuropathy) score (on EORTC QLQ-CIPN20 tool ) from baseline to the Cycle 6 (12 weeks), and from baseline to last follow-up (34-36 weeks). EORTC QLQ-CIPN20 ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 100 (worst symptoms). A higher score represents worse neuropathy. The changes in scores are compared between study arms.~EORTC QLQ-CIPN20 tool is a quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) for evaluation of CIPN."
