Video game exercise program to help head and neck cancer symptoms
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a “motion-based video game” type exercise to help with moderate fatigue and/or pain in adults with head and neck cancer. It may help you feel better day to day while staying active at a low-to-moderate intensity.
