To conduct a two-arm, parallel, prospective, randomized controlled, open-label trial to compare the efficacy of the novel drug mirogabalin with the conventional treatment duloxetine in reducing pain associated with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). There will be a difference in pain reduction after 4 weeks of treatment between the mirogabalin group and the duloxetine group in patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Participants will: * Take drug duloxetine or a mirogabalin every day for 4 weeks. * Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests

Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF)
The Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) assesses pain severity and pain interference. Pain severity is assessed using four items and pain interference using seven items. Each item is rated from 0 to 10. The pain severity and pain interference scores each range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater pain severity or greater pain-related interference and therefore a worse outcome.
Time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks
NCI-CTCAE v5.0
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) severity was assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), Version 5.0. Severity is graded from Grade 1 to Grade 5, with higher grades indicating greater severity; Grade 5 represents death related to the adverse event.
Time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks
EORTC-QLQ-CIPN20
The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy 20-item module (EORTC QLQ-CIPN20) assesses sensory, motor, and autonomic symptoms associated with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Scale scores are linearly transformed to a range of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater neuropathic symptom burden and a worse outcome.
Time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks
EORTC QLQ-C30
Most items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much), while the two global health status/quality-of-life items are rated on a 7-point scale. All scale scores are linearly transformed to a range of 0 to 100. Higher scores on the functional and global health status/quality-of-life scales indicate better functioning or quality of life, whereas higher scores on the symptom scales indicate greater symptom severity and a worse outcome.
Time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks
Korean Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire (KNPQ)
The Korean Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire (KNPQ) consists of 25 items assessing various characteristics of neuropathic pain. Twenty-two items are scored on an 11-point numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the most severe pain imaginable) and are summed to calculate the total score, ranging from 0 to 220. Higher scores indicate a greater neuropathic pain symptom burden.
