Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare clinic-based CDT and home-based (a hybrid model) CDT on changes in the severity of lymphedema, symptom burden, functional status, and healthcare utilization in HNC survivors with lymphedema.

Description:

Primary aim: To compare the effects of clinic-based and home-based (a hybrid model) CDT on changes in the severity of lymphedema. Secondary aim: To compare the effects of clinic-based and home-based (a hybrid model) CDT on symptom burden and functional status. Exploratory aim: To compare the healthcare utilization between patients receiving clinic-based versus home-based (a hybrid model) CDT

Outcome
Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Healthcare utilization Compare healthcare utilization between patients receiving clinic-based versus home-based CDT. Healthcare Utilization Questionnaire will be used in this study. Baseline, Immediately after End of Intervention (an average of 6 weeks), 6-Month Post-Intervention, 12-Month Post-Intervention
Other Healthcare utilization Compare healthcare utilization between patients receiving clinic-based versus home-based CDT. Electronic Health Records (EHR) will be used in this study. Baseline, Immediately after End of Intervention (an average of 6 weeks), 6-Month Post-Intervention, 12-Month Post-Intervention
Primary Changes in severity of lymphedema Compare the effects of clinic-based and home-based CDT on changes in the severity of lymphedema. This outcome measure will be assessed via Head and Neck - External Lymphedema and Fibrosis Assessment Criteria (HN-LEF Assessment Criteria). Baseline, Immediately after End of Intervention (an average of 6 weeks), 6-Month Post-Intervention, 12-Month Post-Intervention
Secondary Changes in severity of symptom burden Compare the effects of clinic-based and home-based CDT on changes in the severity of symptom burden. This outcome measure will be assessed via Head and Neck - Lymphedema and Fibrosis Symptom Inventory (HN-LEF Symptom Inventory) Baseline, Immediately after End of Intervention (an average of 6 weeks), 6-Month Post-Intervention, 12-Month Post-Intervention
Secondary Changes in degrees of jaw range of motion Compare the effects of clinic-based and home-based CDT on jaw range of motion. Jaw range of motion will be measured via Jaw Range of Motion Scale. Baseline, Immediately after End of Intervention (an average of 6 weeks), 6-Month Post-Intervention, 12-Month Post-Intervention
Secondary Changes in degrees of cervical range of motion Compare the effects of clinic-based and home-based CDT on cervical range of motion. Cervical Range of Motion will be measured via Cervical Range of Motion Instrument. Baseline, Immediately after End of Intervention (an average of 6 weeks), 6-Month Post-Intervention, 12-Month Post-Intervention
