Summary
This study compares two pain management approaches—neurofeedback (brain wave training) and a supportive care team—against standard care in 28 head and neck cancer patients at risk of misusing opioids. The goal is to see if these methods can lower pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers. Participants must be 18 or older, scheduled for radiation therapy, and have a history of opioid misuse risk.
