Study Summary

This trial will help to see if home-use devices can help to lower hospitalizations and emergency room visits for patients with head and neck cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with certain head and neck cancers, who are fluent in English and receiving or scheduled to receive radiation at MD Anderson Cancer Center. It's not for those who've had previous radiation for these cancers, have a performance status >2, only palliative treatment, disabilities affecting scale use, unilateral radiation treatment, cognitive difficulties or dysphagia unrelated to cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if using home devices that assess dehydration risk can reduce hospital visits for head and neck cancer patients. One group uses the CYCORE system to monitor hydration at home while also completing health surveys; the other just completes surveys without device monitoring.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves monitoring devices rather than medications, side effects may include discomfort from wearing the devices or psychological impacts from constant health monitoring rather than physical drug-related side effects.
