Hi
I have never thought of Salonpas patches throughout my nasopharyngeal cancer treatment (that was more than 16 yrs ago) - now I am having late effects of radiation - and diagnosed with dysphagia and severe neck fibrosis - just wondering - will the Salonpas patch helps with my neck fibrosis?

Hello @josk
Salonpas only work to block pain pathways so pain associated with the fibrosis could be relieved. I would consult with your doctor about other modalities to help like laser therapy, physical therapy and swallowing therapy. I'm not really sure all that is being used for fibrosis. Are you working with your doctor on this problem?
