Summary

This study tested whether adding a pressure biofeedback device to standard physical therapy could improve neck function in 50 people who had neck dissection surgery for head and neck cancer. Participants were split into two groups: one received standard therapy alone, and the other added cranio-cervical flexion training using the biofeedback device. The goal was to see if the device helped strengthen deep neck muscles and reduce pain and disability.

What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve neck strength and reduce pain after neck dissection surgery.
