Summary
This study tests whether rinsing with cold water (15-20°C) versus room-temperature water (30-35°C) can reduce mouth soreness and pain in 200 people with head and neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Participants will gargle four times daily for six weeks. The goal is to see if cold rinses lessen the severity of radiation-induced mouth sores, improve comfort, and help avoid treatment delays.
