NCT ID NCT06959810

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether specially adapted beauty sessions (onco-esthetics) can help people with head and neck cancer feel better about their changed appearance after treatment. Fifty-five patients will receive three sessions, and researchers will measure how their self-image changes. The goal is to see if this supportive care is feasible and helpful.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Adapted Onco-Esthetics sessions (aesthetic care tailored for cancer patients)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that onco-esthetics helps patients feel better about their appearance and self-image after disfiguring cancer treatments.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early feasibility study with only 55 participants, so results may not apply widely. It measures self-image, not survival or cure.
