Summary
This study looks at whether a partner-based (dyadic) yoga program can improve quality of life and reduce hospital visits for head and neck cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation, as well as their family caregivers. About 415 patient-caregiver pairs are taking part. The yoga sessions are added to standard care, and researchers will track emergency department visits and quality-of-life scores over 6 months.
