      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The samples will be selected by continuous sampling and the patients will be placed in two control and test groups by Block Balanced Randomization (BBR) method. Using the free web system http://www.randomization.com/, the allocation sequence will be done. In this way, the number of subjects in each block is determined to be 4 and the letter A will be considered for the control group and the letter B will be considered for the test group, and the allocation sequence will be created for 60 samples in 15 blocks of 4 with the combination of letters A and B. became. In order to hide the allocation (Allocation Concealment) using the random number table, a random 4-digit number will be determined as the unique code of each patient so that the grouping status of the patient (A or B) remains hidden. The information about the blocks and the specific code of each patient will be available only for the head of the research, Blinding description: This study will be double-blind and the patient and the doctor will not know about the drug used (lacosamide or placebo).</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group who suffers from taxane-induced neuropathy, the standard treatment is duloxetine  30 mg daily in the first week and then 60 mg daily with lacosamide drug of Abidi Pharmaceutical Company (UNIMIDE®) 100 mg tablet every 12 hours and from the second week if tolerated to 300 mg daily. From the third week to 400 mg daily (200 mg every 12 hours), continue until the end of the third month, and then reduce the weekly dose of 100 mg per day until discontinuation of the drug at the end of the fourth month. At the end of three months, duloxetine is first reduced to 30 mg daily for one week and then discontinued. Intervention 2: Control group who suffers from taxane-induced neuropathy: The standard treatment is duloxetine 30 mg daily for the first week and then 60 mg daily with placebo of lacosamide tablets (made in Abidi Pharmaceutical Company) every 12 hours for one week, from the second week 2 in the morning one night and from the third week two every 12 hours and continue until the end. The third month and then reduce the weekly dose of one placebo pill per day until the drug is stopped at the end of the fourth month. At the end of the third month, duloxetine is first reduced to 30 mg daily for one week and then discontinued.</i_freetext>
