Brief Summary:
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well the self-care program works in head and neck cancer survivors with lymphedema and fibrosis. A self-care program may promote self-care activities for managing chronic swelling and tough/tight tissues in the head and neck region.
Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To complete development of a self-care program focusing on lymphedema and fibrosis (LEF) in head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors (LEF-self-care program \[SCP\]) with the goal of improving LEF associated outcomes when compared to usual care alone. (Stage I)
II. To determine the feasibility of a program of LEF-SCP with or without follow-up to usual care for HNC survivors with LEF, specifically to: 1) obtain recruitment estimates and determine barriers to recruitment; 2) identify barriers to implementation; 3) assess safety; and 4) evaluate patient satisfaction. (Stage II)
III. To determine if the LEF-SCP with or without follow-up enhances self-efficacy and adherence compared to usual care in HNC survivors with LEF. (Stage II)
IV. To determine the preliminary efficacy of the LEF-SCP with or without follow-up as compared to usual care for the following outcomes: 1) LEF progression; 2) symptom burden; and 3) functional status. (Stage II)
OUTLINE:
Project Stage I: Patients undergo a training session with the study lymphedema therapist and review the educational manual and videos for the development of all three components of the LEF self-care program.
Project Stage II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 groups.
GROUP I: Patients will receive usual care only, without any additional interventions.
GROUP II: Patients undergo LEF-SCP training comprising of motivational interview (MI) session over 1 hour and LEF self-care training session over 1 hour weekly for 3 weeks. Patients also review LEF self-care educational manual and watch self-care videos monthly or more frequently as needed.
GROUP III: Patients undergo LEF-SCP training comprising of MI session over 1 hour and LEF self-care training session over 1 hour weekly for 3 weeks. Patients review LEF self-care educational manual and watch self-care videos monthly or more frequently as needed. Patients also meet with the study lymphedema therapist over 1 hour at 3, 6, and 9 months.
After completion of study, patients are followed up at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
