Summary
This study tested whether a capsaicin patch (Qutenza) applied to the neck and face can reduce nerve pain better than a standard medication (amitriptyline) in people who finished treatment for head and neck cancer. The trial aimed to enroll 130 participants but only 13 took part. Pain levels were tracked over 9 months using a 0-10 scale.
