Treatment De-Escalation for Favorable Prognosis Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) or p16-Positive Oropharyngeal Cancer Receiving Definitive Radiotherapy
Recruiting
The current standard treatment option for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) or p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer is full-dose radiation combined with chemotherapy. Results with chemotherapy combined with full-dose radiation therapy leads to high rates of cure; this has called into question whether therapy can be decreased in intensity since both chemotherapy and radiation have long-term side effects. One approach to decrease intensity of treatment is to give radiation alone (excluding chemotherapy) and... Read More

Improving Health for Patients With Chronic LBP in Rural Communities Through Telerehabilitation
Recruiting
Physical therapy is the first line of treatment for patients with low back pain (LBP) and has been shown to be a cost-effective method for improving pain and disability in patients with chronic LBP; however, despite this effectiveness, only 7-13% of patients go on to receive physical therapy services with patients in rural communities being especially limited to do lack of provider availability, transportation, and missed work time leading to greater rates of LBP-related disability and opioid co...
