Brief Summary  

This study is proposed to be a one site prospective randomized study where the study participants will be divided by random allocation into two groups, one will receive treatment with TDF and one group will receive TDB pain patch application. After establishing a diagnosis of HNC, baseline assessment shall be done for pain and quality of life. After the initiation of treatment with transdermal pain patches the participants will be followed up for a period of 3 months at the designated time intervals i.e. at the end of 1st week, 2nd week, 4th week, 6th week, 8th week and 12th week. Two ml venous blood samples shall be collected from all the participants. Two such samples will be obtained as baseline and then at 12th week i.e. post commencement of the treatment with TDF and TDB. Gene expression study will be done by utilizing the real time quantitative PCR, mRNA expression of IL-6 and mTORC1 genes shall be performed.
