Exercise Training and Behavioral Modification for the Improvement of Physical Activity in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Undergoing Cancer Treatment

Study summary

This clinical trial evaluates the tolerability of a physical activity program in head and neck cancer patients who are undergoing cancer treatment. The goal of this trial is to give patients exercises prescribed by a physical therapist that they are able to complete regularly at home. Increasing physical activity may help patients reduce fatigue, improve mood, increase physical performance, and decrease joint pain.
