Summary

This clinical trial improves an existing pain management program and tests its effect on head and neck cancer survivors. This trial aims to find a better program to improve pain-related physical functioning, mood, and quality of life in a sample of individuals who have undergone treatment for head and neck cancer.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Adapt an existing telehealth pain management intervention to target improvement of pain-related physical functioning, mood, substance use, and quality of life in a local sample of veteran head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors. II. Conduct a pilot of the adapted intervention to examine the feasibility (accrual, adherence, attrition) and acceptability (participant satisfaction) that will form the basis of a well-powered, randomized clinical trial submitted for funding to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), American Cancer Society (ACS), or Veterans Affairs (VA). OUTLINE: Patients attend 5 sessions of Mobile Pain Coping Skills Training for 45 minutes each over 8 weeks. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 2 months.
