BIHNC Trial Summary

This trial will test a new web-based program to help people with head and neck cancer cope with their body image after treatment.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals who finished head and neck cancer treatment between 3-24 months ago, are unhappy with their body's appearance or function post-treatment, and have significant body image concerns (BIS score > 10). It excludes those with cognitive impairments, inability to read computer text, non-English speakers, or anyone still in cancer treatment.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a six-week online program called BIHNC designed to help survivors of head and neck cancers. The program includes educational modules and personal reflection activities aimed at improving participants' body image.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions are psychoeducational rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects like you'd see with medication aren't expected. Participants may experience emotional discomfort while reflecting on their body image.
