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.
