Virtual speech therapy program for head and neck cancer patients
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a partner-guided virtual speech therapy program delivered through group sessions and questionnaires for people with head and neck cancer. If you’re starting curative chemo-radiation, the program may help with speech and swallowing-related symptoms during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older) with head or neck cancer

- Your external radiation plan is for at least 60 Grays
- You can read and write well enough in French to complete self-questionnaires
