Evaluation of the Interest of a Video-assisted Remote Speech Therapy Consultation in Patients With ORL Cancer (TELE ORTHOPHONIE)

July 28, 2025 updated by: Institut Claudius Regaud

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.
