Manual Therapy And Dynamic Splint Use For Trismus In Head And Neck Cancer Survivors: 3533 Board #354 May 29 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
- Head and neck cancer (HNC) accounts for 3-5% of cancer cases in the United States. A known complication of oncological treatments for HNC is trismus, defined as limited mouth opening of less than 35mm. Trismus occurs in 6-86% of survivors. There is no standardized treatment for trismus, however, commonly used conservative interventions include manual therapy (MT), active exercises and assistive stretching devices. These interventions have shown promise as means to improve jaw mobility and alleviate symptoms. Without early detection and intervention, trismus is often chronic and progressive in nature.
