Lymphedema of the Head and Neck Clinical Trial
Official title:
Promoting Self-Management in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors With Lymphedema and Fibrosis [PROMISE Trial]
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized lymphedema and fibrosis self-management program (LEF-SMP) to improve LEF self-management and reduce LEF-associated symptom burden, functional deficits, and improve quality of life in head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors.
In HNC survivors with lymphedema and fibrosis (LEF), the investigators will: 1) compare the effects of in-person LEF-SMP, telehealth LEF-SMP, and usual care on LEF severity; 2) compare the effects of in-person LEF-SMP, telehealth LEF-SMP, and usual care on LEF-related symptom burden, functional impairments, and quality of life; and 3) compare the effects of in-person LEF-SMP, telehealth LEF-SMP, and usual care on LEF-related knowledge, skills, self-efficacy, and self-care adherence. ;
