There is currently no gold\u2010standard diagnostic criterion nor a widely accepted method for accurate and early identification of CIPN. Vibration perception threshold (VPT), which reflects large\u2010fibre nerve function, has been proposed as a potential biomarker for CIPN.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Databases and Data Treatment<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic review and meta\u2010analysis was pre\u2010registered and conducted by searching PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, CENTRAL, and Web of Science databases from inception to November 2024.

Together, they support VPT as a promising objective measure that can contribute to the assessment of peripheral neurotoxicity, with hand\u2010based testing potentially offering a practical and sensitive site for assessment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejp.70319","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]],"date-time":"2026-07-02T06:09:12Z","timestamp":1782972552000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Utility of Vibration Perception Thresholds as a Biomarker of Chemotherapy\u2010Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: A Systematic Review and Meta\u2010Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0241-7611","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Faris","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Anaesthesia, Pain and Critical Care Research Group, School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience University of Bristol  Bristol UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Max","family":"Holcroft","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust  Cambridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James P.","family":"Dunham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anaesthesia, Pain and Critical Care Research Group, School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience University of Bristol  Bristol UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony E.","family":"Pickering","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anaesthesia, Pain and Critical Care Research Group, School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience University of Bristol  Bristol UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marin","family":"Dujmovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anaesthesia, Pain and Critical Care Research Group, School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience University of Bristol  Bristol UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.critrevonc.2011.04.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2009.03.024"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40487\u2010021\u201000168\u2010y"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/antib12030050"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/1078\u20100432.CCR\u201004\u20101655"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/rapm\u20102024\u2010106229"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dujmovi\u0107 M.
