The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is widely used in head and neck reconstruction. Its thinness, pliability, pedicle length, and vessel size are particularly suited for oropharyngeal and oral cavity reconstruction. Concerns about aesthetic and functional morbidity at the donor site have given rise to various techniques of closing the …
This phase IV trial studies how well serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after radiation therapy works in predicting radiation-induced changes in the normal tissue of patients with oral cavity or skull base tumors. Performing MRIs after radiation therapy for patients with oral cavity or skull base tumors may help to …
Surgery is usually the first choice for early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, there is currently a lack of consensus on whether patients with clinically negative cervical lymph nodes (N0) should undergo elective neck dissection (END) at the same time. About 20-30% of cT1-2N0M0 oral cancer patients have occult …
The study design is an observational cohort study of patients undergoing standard of care oral cavity reconstruction. An observational study is required to prospectively evaluate microbial and antibiotic mechanisms underlying surgical site infection after oral cavity reconstruction.
This observational study aims to develop an AI-based system for tracking mandibular and shoulder movements using deep learning techniques. It will compare AI-generated pose estimations with gold standard measurements to assess accuracy, particularly in patients with functional impairments from oral cancer treatment, such as trismus, spinal accessory nerve dysfunction, neck …
This study examines the effects of AI-based physiotherapy on oral function, shoulder function, whole-body physical function, and quality of life in oral cancer patients. One hundred patients will be recruited before surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy and randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving 12 weeks of AI-guided physiotherapy or a …
This follow-up clinical study aims to evaluate the sustained effects of two rehabilitation programs (AI-based physiotherapy vs. conventional physiotherapy) for oral cancer patients. Participants who completed the original intervention trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: 202411044RINC) will be assessed at 3 and 9 months post-intervention. Outcomes include mandibular mobility, shoulder joint range of …
This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of a novel AI-based physiotherapy evaluation system for measuring oromandibular and neck-shoulder range of motion (ROM). Traditional ROM assessments rely on manual measurements, which may be influenced by rater experience and variability. The proposed AI system uses automated keypoint tracking to …
Cancers of the oral cavity (lip, oral tongue, gingivae, floor of mouth, hard palate, and other mouth tissues including buccal mucosa) are amongst the most common worldwide, with an estimated annual burden of over 300,000 incident cases. Most oral cancers (\>75%) are attributable to cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, and chewing …
This is a phase 1b, multicenter, non-randomized prospective study involving an innovation phase (IDEAL-1) followed by a prospective development phase (IDEAL-2A) designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of oral/oropharyngeal reconstruction with the external pudendal free flap in two groups of patients. A maximum of 40 patients (20 patients per …
