First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two methods of treating lymphedema (swelling) in people who have finished treatment for head and neck cancer. One group gets care at a clinic, while the other learns a home-based routine. The goal is to see which approach better reduces swelling, eases symptoms, and improves daily function. About 240 adults up to 24 months post-cancer treatment will take part.
