This study looks at how well people can chew, eat, and speak after having jaw or face reconstruction due to cancer. It aims to understand how these functions affect your daily life and happiness.
This study tracks how your swallowing ability and quality of life change before and after treatment for mouth cancer. It helps doctors understand what patients go through and find ways to improve care.
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.
This study looks at how radiotherapy, and possibly cisplatin chemotherapy, affect hearing in people treated for head and neck cancer. It may help doctors better predict hearing side effects and plan hearing monitoring or prevention.
This study looks at how cisplatin chemotherapy affects hearing and balance in people with head and neck cancer. It compares those getting cisplatin-based treatment to those getting only radiation. The goal is to better understand and potentially reduce these side effects.
This study looks at how nutrition literacy (understanding food and diet) affects health outcomes for head and neck cancer survivors and their caregivers. If you are a survivor who finished treatment 6 months to 4 years ago and can eat by mouth, you and your caregiver may be able to join.
