Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A study on the efficacy of systematic oral health education for the prevention of oral-related complications caused by radiotherapy for head and neck malignant tumors

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of systematic oral health education for oral-related complications in patients with head and neck malignant tumors who receive radiotherapy. The main question it aims to answer is:

the efficacy of systematic oral health education for the prevention oral-related complications caused by radiotherapy for head and neck malignant tumors

Participants will:

be given systematic oral health education or routine oral health education be evaluated to learn the efficacy of systematic oral health education for the prevention of oral-related complications caused by radiotherapy for head and neck malignant tumors Researchers will compare systematic oral health education group with routine oral health education group to see if systematic oral health education has good efficacy for the prevention of oral-related complications caused by radiotherapy for head and neck malignant tumors.
