Summary

This study tests whether two 60-minute psychological sessions that include biofeedback can help reduce post-traumatic stress symptoms in people undergoing surgery for head and neck cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the intervention or standard care. The goal is to see if this brief support improves emotional well-being, body image, and quality of life after surgery.
