Filter by:This novel project aims to explore an alternative treatment for oral lichen planus (OLP), a challenging condition with limited therapeutic options. The proposed treatment involves the topical application of Daivobet ointment, a combination of calcipotriol (vitamin D analog) and betamethasone (corticosteroid), which has shown promising results in the treatment of psoriasis Vulgaris. The study will involve 15 patients aged 30-60 years with clinically confirmed intra-oral erosive lichen planus, some of whom have not responded to current therapies. Participants will apply Daivobet ointment three times daily for four weeks, with clinical assessments conducted at the beginning, and at the end of the second and fourth weeks. Inclusion criteria require the presence of bilateral oral erosive lichen planus lesions, with clinical and histopathological confirmation based on the World Health Organization's modified definition. Exclusion criteria include histological signs of dysplasia, use of drugs possibly causing lichenoid reactions, recent treatment for OLP, and hypersensitivity to the study drug. Clinical evaluations will employ a scoring system based on lesion characteristics, including ulceration, erythema, and reticulation, measured with a calibrated grid. Subjective responses will be assessed through discomfort scores on a visual analog scale, and a questionnaire will capture any adverse effects. Digital photographs will document visual changes, and incisional biopsies will be performed to confirm the diagnosis. The project aims to provide valuable insights into the efficacy and safety of the Daivobet ointment as a potential alternative treatment for oral lichen planus, offering hope for improved outcomes for patients suffering from this challenging condition.
This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in the early diagnosis of oral cancer. It focuses on Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) as precursors to Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). Despite the availability of oral screening, diagnostic delays persist, underscoring the importance of exploring non-invasive methodologies. The OCT technology provides cross-sectional analysis of biological tissues, enabling a detailed evaluation of ultrastructural oral mucosal features. The trial aims to compare OCT preliminary evaluation with traditional histology, considered the gold standard in oral lesion diagnosing. It seeks to create a database of pathological OCT data, facilitating the non invasive identification of carcinogenic processes. The goal is to develop a diagnostic algorithm based on OCT, enhancing its ability to detect characteristic patterns such as the keratinized layer, squamous epithelium, basement membrane, and lamina propria in oral tissues affected by OPMDs and OSCC. Furthermore, the trial aims to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) in OCT image analysis. The use of machine learning algorithms could contribute to a faster and more accurate assessment of images, aiding in early diagnosis. The trial aims to standardize the comparison between in vivo OCT images and histological analysis, adopting a site-specific approach in biopsies to improve correspondence between data collected by both methods. In summary, the trial not only evaluates OCT as a diagnostic tool but also aims to integrate AI to develop a standardized approach that enhances the accuracy of oral cancer diagnosis, providing a significant contribution to clinical practice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effects of baricitinib (the study drug) in patients with Oral Lichen Planus. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the efficacy of baricitinib in treating moderate to severe Oral Lichen Planus? - Can baricitinib treatment in Oral Lichen Planus change quality of life? - What side effects do patients with Oral Lichen Planus experience when treated with baricitinib? Participants will be required to come in to monthly visits for up to eight months. During visits, participants will be: - Evaluated for the extent of their disease - Asked to fill out a questionnaire about their quality of life - Given baricitinib for them to take at home for six months - Evaluated for any potential side experienced while on treatment - Asked to return 1 month after completing treatment
A double-blind placebo-controlled trial is conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy of Fluocinonide 0,05% and determinate the statistical significance of the outcome variables. Oral cavity lichen is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the mucosa of the oral cavity , which significantly reduces the quality of life of affected individuals.
Oral lichen planus patients who will meet inclusion criteria will be divided into 2 groups -The intervention group (Group P): This group will be randomly allocated to take one capsule twice daily during meal time at morning and evening of probiotics complex obtained from Biovea for 4 -week study period. Moreover, patients in this group will be instructed to apply clobetasole propionate in orabase gel 2 times daily for 4 weeks. Patients will receive their supply of the gel and probiotics every 2 weeks. The control group (Group B): This group will be randomly allocated to apply clobetasol propionate in orabase gel 4 times daily after meal times and before sleeping for 4 weeks. At the 3rd week this group will be instructed to apply miconazole gel 4 times daily as a prophylaxis for two weeks. Salivary sample collection: Unstimulated salivary sample was collected from all participants twice , once at baseline and another time after 4 weeks from the study period. Saliva was collected in graduated clear test tubes to be used in the evaluation of candidal counts before and after treatment . Patient's visits was at baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks.
This study aims to evaluate the levels of leptin in both saliva and serum samples of patients diagnosed with oral lichen.
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of Oral mucosa. The pathogenesis of OLP is not clear, and there is no effective method to cure it. In vitro, previous studies have shown that oral mucosal mesenchymal stem cell cells (MSCs) can secrete Ido, which is involved in the pathogenesis of OLP. It has been proved that mental disorders such as depression and anxiety play an important role in the pathogenesis and treatment of OLP. Mental stress factors can cause abnormal changes of inflammatory factors, leading to immune dysfunction, which is also one of the main causes of OLP. In this study, we integrated the advantages of stomatology, psychiatry, neurobiology and traditional Chinese medicine, focused on the clinical problems of mental disorders with oral mucosal comorbidity, and assessed the depressive and anxiety status of OLP patients, so as to improve the therapeutic effect of OLP.
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa and is considered a precancerous condition. It is characterized by white reticular changes in the oral mucosa, which can progress to erosions and cause pain in severe cases. The pathogenesis of OLP is still unclear, but it is believed to be a T-lymphocyte-mediated autoimmune disease. Currently, only symptomatic treatments are available, and there is no definitive cure. In this project, we plan to use TCM differentiation to categorize OLP patients and conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial to demonstrate the enhanced therapeutic effect of paeoniflorin combined with photodynamic therapy for OLP. The implementation of this project will provide new insights into the clinical management of OLP, improve our understanding of the treatment mechanisms, and have important theoretical and clinical implications.
The aim of the study will be to evaluate the efficacy of a tissue autofluorescence detection system as an aid to clinical screening in identifying lesions of the oral mucosa. The screening process will be performed by 3 clinicians with a different level of experience. Sensitivity and specificity tests will be conducted.
On the basis of previous studies, a validation cohort will be established to explore the relationship between oral lichen planus and autoimmune thyroid diseases, and a disease efficacy prediction strategy can be formed.
