Therapy education program for laryngectomy patients and caregivers
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a structured education and support program for people after a total laryngectomy (surgery to remove the voice box) and for their close family caregivers. It aims to improve quality of life for both the patient and the caregiver.
