Stick out your tongue: simple move could ease harsh cancer treatment side effects
NCT ID NCT07227792
Summary
This study is testing if a simple change in patient positioning—sticking out the tongue during radiation therapy—can reduce severe side effects for people with head and neck cancer. Researchers believe this 'tongue-out' technique may lower radiation exposure to the tongue and throat muscles, potentially leading to less pain, fewer swallowing problems, and faster recovery. The trial will compare 35 new patients using this method to past patients who received standard treatment.
