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.
