Study Summary

This trial will help to identify the mechanisms behind oral cancer pain, in the hopes of finding more effective treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals in good health with a confirmed diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma that's at least 1 cm wide and requires surgery. It's not open to those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have had previous treatments for head and neck cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand the unique pain associated with oral cancer by comparing sensitivity to pain in patients versus healthy volunteers using tests that measure response to mechanical pressure and chemical stimuli on affected areas.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on measuring pain rather than testing a drug or therapy, there are no direct side effects from interventions. However, discomfort may arise from the sensitivity tests performed during the research.
