NCT ID NCT06517355
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a series of sexology consultations can help people who had their voice box removed due to throat cancer, along with their partners, feel better about their intimate lives. The program involves individual talks with a trained sexology nurse and questionnaires about quality of life and sexual function. The goal is to see if patients find this support acceptable and satisfying.

What this could lead to
If successful, this program could become a standard support option to help laryngectomy patients and their partners regain intimacy and sexual satisfaction after cancer treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program relies on patient willingness to attend multiple sessions, which may limit its real-world use.
