Light therapy may ease radiation damage in head and neck cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06708754
First seen Apr 05, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special light therapy (called photobiomodulation or PBM) can reduce swelling and scarring caused by radiation treatment in head and neck cancer patients. About 60 people who completed radiation at least 3 months ago will be randomly assigned to receive either real PBM or a sham (fake) treatment. The goal is to see if PBM can improve tissue thickness and ease long-term side effects like neck tightness and difficulty swallowing.
