Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Self-reported pain level	Participants were asked to report the degree of pain. This was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) which ranges from zero (lowest score) to 10 (highest score). Higher scores indicate higher pain level.	up to 2 weeks
Primary	Oral mucositis lesion size	This was assessed using the World Health Organization oral mucositis lesion score Grade 0: no oral mucositis. Grade1: Presence of soreness and erythema. Grade 2: Presence of painful erythema and ulcerations that do not affect the patient solid food intake.; Grade3: Confluent ulceration that affect the solid food intake and require liquid diet.; Grade 4: The patient requires parenteral nutrition.	up to 2 weeks
