In the experimental arm, patients will receive 6 sessions of sophrology. The sessions are individual and last approximately 50 minutes.

In addition to the sophrology sessions, patients will benefit from two speech therapy sessions per week for 6 months, lasting from 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the patient's general condition.

Sophrology is a relaxation method that's sometimes referred to as hypnosis, psychotherapy, or a complementary therapy.

Sophrology uses techniques such as: hypnosis, visualization, meditation, mindfulness, breathing exercises, gentle movements, body awareness...

Sophrology techniques may be useful during medical procedures that cause stress and discomfort.

Patients with brain tumours experience a loss of independence, which may occur suddenly or gradually. Communication with the patient may be rapidly impaired, due to impaired alertness, language and/or neurocognitive disorders.

In addition to these clinical symptoms, there is a high level of anxiety and depression in this population due to the severity of the diagnosis, with a major impact on the patients' quality of life. In this study, we are mainly interested in the proportion of this population with communication disorders where speech therapy is important In order to better take into account anxiety, which is often difficult to verbalise due to communication problems, sophrology can be proposed as an alternative to psychological support, which is often too complicated or inappropriate.

After having noted positive feedback from patients after joint speech therapy and sophrology treatment, we wish to evaluate the interest of coupling sophrology treatment for patients with glial tumours requiring speech therapy.

Our hypothesis is that this association would improve the level of anxiety, the quality of life and have a positive impact on the patient's speech therapy.

Sophrology Treatment for Patients With Glial Tumours Requiring Speech Therapy

Anxiety levels will be measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at 6 months in both treatment arms. The quality of life scale consists of 14 items scored from 0 to 3. A score of 0 indicates that the patient has no anxiety disorder, a score of 21 indicates that the patient has a severe anxiety disorder.

Quality of life will be assessed by quality of life questionnaires at baseline and after 3 and 6 months of treatment. These are the QLQ-C30 v3 questionnaire and the brain-specific module EORTC-BN20 ;

There has been limited research in the area of speech and language therapy awareness in Pakistan. The study aims to assess the efficacy of providing speech therapy awareness in private schools through a pre-post model. This Quasi experimental study will be a means of reaching out to schools and directly create awareness regarding the field and its scope. Pre-assessment will be carried out and after which a 45 minutes presentation will be conducted face to face or through a webinar as per school directives. The results will be analysed quantitatively and pre-post assessment of the participants will be measured.

There has been limited research in the area of speech and language therapy awareness in Pakistan. The study aims to assess the efficacy of providing speech therapy awareness in private schools through a pre-post model. the study design is Quasi Experimental study

Sample size: 385. Raosoft Sampling technique: Purposive Sampling Inclusion criteria: Private English medium schools of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Schools with no speech and language therapists Exclusion criteria: Public Schools and schools who may have visiting or permanent speech therapists on their panel.

Delphi technique will be used for development of a tool for the intervention and to assess the impact of the awareness program.

The teachers will be tested pre and post program and three months after the completion of the program. Three months post they will be a) tested on the same questionnaire b) will determine number of students identified with difficulties c) students referred to a therapist.

Data will be analyzed quantitative means and quantitative data will be analyzed using SPSS

The first ten subjects will be enrolled in a pilot study. The following sixty subjects will be separated randomly to experimental group and control group.

The first ten subjects and the experimental group will be arranged manual therapy and rehabilitation for six months.

The control group will be arranged rehabilitation.

1. release and stretch the muscles and fascia around shoulder girdle、upper arm and forearm;
2. massage the masseter muscle and temporalis muscle;
3. mobilization of the temporomandibular joint, the thoracic and cervical spine, shoulder, and elbow.

include the stretching of the neck, facial and oral movement training, and swallowing training

The subjects in this study are the patients with head and neck cancer after completion of the radiotherapy. Radiation-induced fibrosis is inevitable and there is no effective treatment to prevent it. Therefore, there are two parts in this study :

The first part is a pilot study. There will be 10 subjects included and manual therapy and rehabilitation will be arranged for 6 months. The manual therapy would be once a week at most, and the rehabilitation would be twice a week at most.

The second part is a randomized controlled study. 60 patients would be randomized divided into two groups. The group 1 is manual therapy(once a week at most) and rehabilitation(twice a week at most), and the group 2 is rehabilitation only(twice a week at most). Patients would be evaluated at baseline, 3rd, 6th, and 12th month. The evaluation is including the degree of superficial soft tissue fibrosis, numerical rating scale of pain, range of motion(neck), range of motion(shoulder), width of mouth opening, EORTC QLQ C30, EORTC QLQ H\&N 35, and functional oral intake scale. Besides, swallowing video fluoroscopy would be done at baseline, 6th, and 12th month.

When the subject completes the evaluation in the 12th month, the study is ended.

Because the radiation-induced fibrosis is progressed with time, we will follow up the condition of subjects at the next year and the following third year.

The subjects in this study are the patients with head and neck cancer after completion of the radiotherapy. Radiation-induced fibrosis is inevitable and there is no effective treatment to prevent it now. Therefore, there are two parts in this study :

The first part is a pilot study. There will be 10 subjects included and manual therapy and rehabilitation will be arranged for 6 months. The manual therapy would be once a week at most, and the rehabilitation would be twice a week at most.

The second part is a randomized controlled study. 60 patients would be randomized divided into two groups. The group 1 is manual therapy(once a week at most) and rehabilitation(twice a week at most), and the group 2 is rehabilitation only(twice a week at most).

Sady S da Costa, PHD

This study aims to verify the impact of four speech therapy sessions on the Quality of Life of patients treated for malignant tongue and/or jaw cancer, using as measure specific questionnaires of speech and swallowing.

The hypothesis is that after treatment with exercises and speech therapy guidance, patients will present better indicators on Quality of Life related to speech and swallowing.

Quality of Life in Patients Treated for Tongue and/or Jaw Neoplasia Before and After Speech Therapy

Quality of Life in Patients Treated for Tongue and/or Jaw Neoplasia Before and After Speech Therapy: a Randomized Clinical Trial

To measure the changes in Quality of Life related to swallowing it was used the questionnaire Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI)

To measure the changes in Quality of Life related to speech it was used the questionnaire Speech Handicap Index (SHI)

To measure the changes in Dysphagia classification it was used the Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing, exam that evaluate the functionability of swallow. These exams were presented to three judges (speech therapists) that in agreement classified the degree of dysphagia

To measure the changes in Speech Intelligibility it was used speech recordings that were analysed by three judges (speech therapists) that in agreement classified the degree of speech intelligibility
