Background: Effects of exercise therapy for trismus secondary to head and neck cancer have not been reviewed systematically since 2004.
Methods: Four databases were searched. The quality of observational studies and randomized controlled trials was assessed.
Background: Trismus, a restricted mouth opening in head and neck cancer patients may be caused by tumor infiltration in masticatory muscles, radiation-induced fibrosis or scarring after surgery. It may impede oral functioning severely. The aims of our study were to determine: (1) the incidence of trismus at various time points; and (2) the patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics that predict the development of trismus after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients using a large database (n = 641).
