Evaluation of the Interest of a Video-assisted Remote Speech Therapy Consultation in Patients With ORL Cancer (TELE ORTHOPHONIE)
France105 participantsStarted 2021-09-02
Plain-language summary
Interventional, prospective, single-centre study aimed to evaluate the impact of a video-assisted remote speech therapy consultation in relation to the complexity and specificity of the care of patients with ORL cancer. Three indications will be studied: phonation problems, swallowing problems and other problems.
The study will be conducted on a population of patients with T3, T4 ORL cancer requiring speech therapy.
Each patient included will have a video-assisted speech therapy consultation with a private speech therapist and an expert speech therapist. At the end of this video consultation, the patient and the private speech therapist will be asked to complete a satisfaction questionnaire.
At the follow-up visit following the video-assisted consultation, the patient will have completed participation in the study.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
