What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effects of self-administered acupressure on xerostomia, or dry mouth, in patients with head and neck cancer. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare acupressure with oral health education to see which better relieves dry mouth symptoms. The study also looks at quality of life, symptom severity, patient expectations of acupressure, and how acceptable this therapy is for patients. Xerostomia is common and often underrecognized among these patients, usually caused by radiation and chemotherapy treatments affecting salivary glands.
