Opioid-Sparing Interdisciplinary Interventions Addressing Pain in Head and Neck Cancer Patients
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Best Practice, Counseling, and 3 other interventions for Head and Neck Carcinoma. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 28 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This phase II trial compares different pain management interventions (standard of care \[SOC\], neurofeedback \[NFB\] training, and compassionate high alert team \[CHAT\]) in patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer who are at risk of developing non-medical opioid use (NMOU). The current standard treatment includes regular clinic visits and supportive care and counseling (including topics like patient-doctor communication, cancer care goals, financial issues counseling, and other topics). NFB training is a type of therapy that uses an electroencephalograph (EEG) and a computer software program to measure brain wave activity. The goal of NFB is to help teach patients with pain how to change their own brain waves to lower their feelings of pain and help improve their quality of life. CHAT is a supportive care intervention that includes symptom and pain management, counseling (about pain, symptoms, opioid use and safety, stress, and quality of life), and support for patients and their family members. NFB and CHAT may help to manage pain and lower patient use of opioids.
