Summary

People receiving a head and neck cancer treatment often do not find an adequate therapeutic response for the side effects derived from this treatment. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a physical recovery program based on manual therapy over these problems.

Previous studies have shown the effectiveness of this type of programs on patients who have had cancer in other locations with clinically relevant results. There is a shortage of proposals for this subgroup of patients that require special attention. This project intends to carry out an experimental randomized controlled study with 84 patients treated of head and neck cancer who will be assigned randomly to the study groups: a) manual therapy program or, b) control group. The assessment refers to a baseline form (at the beginning of the study), at 6 weeks and at 6 months of patient follow-up.
