This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial helps head and neck cancer survivors who are experiencing lymphedema (swelling) and fibrosis (tissue tightening) learn practical ways to manage these side effects at home. Researchers are testing whether a self-management program works better when delivered in person, through telehealth (video calls), or through standard care alone. The goal is to see which approach helps people feel better, stay more active, and have a better quality of life after cancer treatment.
Many head and neck cancer survivors develop swelling and tissue changes that are hard to manage, and many cannot access regular therapy due to distance, cost, or other barriers. This trial aims to find out whether teaching people self-care skills—either in person or online—can help them manage these symptoms on their own and improve their everyday life.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: usual care, an in-person self-management program, or a telehealth (video-based) self-management program. Participants in the active groups will learn hands-on techniques and strategies to manage swelling and tissue changes, either through visits to the clinic or video sessions from home. Throughout the study, you'll complete questionnaires about your symptoms, how well you're managing, and how the program affects your daily life.
