Mean levels of serum interleukin [IL]-6 in women with painful CIPN ( ) and women without CIPN symptoms (Comparison Group, ). Dots represent mean value of Interleukin [IL]-6 measured in serum; error bars represent 95% CI. Mean (SD), [Range] of the painful CIPN group: 2.43 (1.7) pg/mL ; Comparison group: 0.92 (0.6) pg/mL . Independent t-test with Bonferroni correction performed to examine difference between groups: (t(38) = −5.6, ).
