Summary
This study tests if starting physiotherapy early can prevent lymphedema (swelling) in head and neck cancer survivors. Twenty adults who had surgery and radiation will be split into two groups: one gets daily at-home compression therapy, the other gets standard care only after swelling appears. Researchers will compare how many people in each group develop lymphedema over one year.
