Posted: September 2, 2025
A study protocol in Chile aims to assess the impact of manual therapy on oral opening, swallow function, and upper quarter mobility in survivors of head and neck cancer. The controlled, randomized study will involve 70 participants over 18 years old, with one group receiving manual therapy targeting mastication and head and neck muscles, while the control group will undergo motor control exercises. The study, approved by the Ethics Committee of Universidad de La Frontera, will evaluate effectiveness through outcomes like oral opening and swallow function, with results to be published in open access journals and shared at research meetings.
