Brief summary

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 motion, functional performance, quality of life, pain, and return-to-work status.

Detailed description

This study is a continuation of our prior trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: 202411044RINC), which investigated the short-term effects of AI-based physiotherapy compared with conventional physiotherapy in oral cancer patients. The current follow-up phase evaluates both groups at 3 and 9 months post-intervention to determine whether initial improvements are maintained and whether they translate into better long-term physical function, quality of life, and return-to-work outcomes. No additional interventions will be delivered; only follow-up assessments are planned.
