DAHANCA 25A: Resistance Training and Dietary Supplements as Intervention for Regaining Muscle Mass Following Radiotherapy in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Head and Neck Neoplasms Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Randomized Trial Evaluating Resistance Training and Dietary Supplements as Intervention for Regaining Muscle Mass Following Radiotherapy in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether resistance training in combination with dietary supplementation is tolerable among head and neck cancer patients and to evaluate the possible effect on muscle mass, strength and functional capacity.

Clinical Trial Description

Head and neck cancer patients experience a significant loss of muscle mass following radiotherapy treatment due to cachexia and dysphagia. This negatively affects muscle strength and functional capacity.

Studies on healthy individuals and various groups of patients show that resistance training in combination with protein and creatine ingestion is an effective means of increasing muscle mass, strength and functional capacity.

Thus the aim is to investigate the following:

- is resistance training and dietary supplements tolerable among head and neck cancer patients

- the effect of the intervention on muscle mass, strength and functional capacity ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
