Predicting long-term pain after head and neck radiotherapy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks for ways to predict and improve pain you may have months after radiotherapy for first head and neck cancer. It may help doctors better anticipate pain and support patients during recovery.
