Journal of Pain Research, 2009 · n = 48

Key finding

BPC-157 decreased thermal hyperalgesia by 64% (p=0.002) and restored nerve conduction velocity by 45% versus chemotherapy-only controls.

Summary

BPC-157 demonstrated neuroprotective effects in cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy, reducing nerve damage and improving sensory function in mice.
