Objective To explore the application effect of video education combined with feedback method in oral function exercise for patients with head and neck tumors undergoing radiotherapy. Methods Sixty eight patients admitted to our hospital from March 2024 to November 2024 were randomly divided into a control group (conventional oral education) and an observation group (video education + feedback method). Compare the severity of oral mucositis (WHO classification), incidence of mouth opening difficulties, and compliance with oral functional exercise between two groups of patients after intervention. Results The severity of mucosal inflammation in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group; The incidence of difficulty in opening the mouth was significantly lower than that of the control group; The exercise compliance was significantly better than the control group, and the numerical difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of video education and feedback can effectively improve the effectiveness and experience of patients' oral function exercise, and is worthy of clinical promotion.
