Summary

This study tests a 6-week program called PAfitME that uses motion-controlled exergames (like Nintendo Switch) to help head and neck cancer survivors manage fatigue and pain after finishing treatment. 150 participants will be randomly assigned to either the exergaming program or a standard survivorship education group. The goal is to see if personalized, fun physical activity can improve energy, reduce pain, and boost quality of life.
