What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate and map neurosensory disorders such as hypoesthesia and paresthesia in patients who have undergone treatment for cancers of the oral cavity and oropharynx. It involves a detailed assessment during routine follow-up consultations with maxillo-facial surgeons, where patient data, treatment history, and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are collected. The study also includes diagnostic tests for neuropathic pain and quality of life assessments using standardized questionnaires.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of neurosensory disorders and pain in cancer survivors, enhancing their quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on similar studies, the approach of mapping neurosensory disorders in cancer patients is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
