Can blood tests predict who will do their swallowing exercises?
NCT ID NCT03010150
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why people with head and neck cancer follow (or don't follow) swallowing exercises after radiation. Researchers will use blood tests and questionnaires to see if immune system proteins or feelings about the disease affect exercise habits. The goal is to find ways to help patients stick with these exercises to prevent future swallowing problems.
