Summary
This study tested two hands-on therapy techniques—Kaltenborn mobilization and active release—to help head and neck cancer survivors who developed jaw tightness and pain after radiation. 115 adults who finished radiation at least 6 months earlier took part. The goal was to see which method better improves mouth opening and reduces jaw discomfort.
