Filter by:The study will be a randomized double blind prospective placebo controlled clinical study and aims to determine the therapeutic efficacy of Probiotics in Oral Mucositis pathogenesis in patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy.
This is a randomized, multi-center, single-use, active-controlled, two-stage open study of episil®. The purpose of this study is to assess the local analgesic effect of episil® in cancer patients suffering from chemotherapy- and/or radiation-induced oral mucositis, which will provide scientific and reliable clinical data in the product registration in China.
To test the modification of the implant prosthesis, in order to facilitate access to biofilm control, in combination with decontamination of the implant surface by means of an ultrasonic device with a plastic tip and plastic curettes, in comparison with the decontamination of the implant surface by means of an ultrasonic device with a plastic tip and plastic curettes, and no modification of the implant prosthesis.
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of a 0.03% chlorhexidine (CHX) and 0.05% cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC) mouth rinse, as an adjunct to professionally and patient-administered mechanical plaque removal, in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis. Material and Methods: Patients displaying peri-implant mucositis in, at least, one implant were included in this randomized, double-blinded, clinical trial. Subjects received a conventional professional prophylaxis (at baseline and 6-month visits) and were instructed to regular oral hygiene practices and to rinse, twice daily, during one year, with a 0.03% CHX and 0.05% CPC mouth rinse, or a placebo. Clinical, radiographic and microbiological data were recorded at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Disease resolution was defined as the absence of bleeding on probing (BOP). Repeated measures ANOVA, Student-t and chi square tests were used.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy of lappaconitine adhesive patch in alleviation radiation induced mucositis pain and the improvements in QOL of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma . To determine if lappaconitine administered prior to radiation therapy reduces the severity of radiation induced oral mucositis pain in patients who have been diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to determine if RRx-001, which is added on to the cisplatin and radiation treatment, reduces the duration or length of severe oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancers. All patients in this study will receive 7 weeks of standard of care radiation therapy given with the chemotherapy agent, cisplatin. Patients in arms 1, 2 and 3 will also receive RRx-001 on different schedules.
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic autoimmune disease associated with cell-mediated immunological dysfunction. Symptomatic OLP is painful and complete healing is rare. Current treatments for lichen planus and lichenoid mucositis are usually directed towards reducing the symptoms. This double-blinded cross-over placebo-controlled clinical trial is designed to measure the effectiveness of a topical NSAID (Ibuprofen suspension - 100mg/5ml) compared with a placebo in reducing pain associated with Oral Lichen Planus and Oral Lichenoid Lesions. Exclusion criteria include: - The occurrence of dysplasia in the histopathological specimen - Known or suspected sensitivity to NSAID medication - History of asthma - History of gastrointestinal ulceration - History of bleeding disorders - Pregnancy Outcome measures are self-reported pain scores at day 0, day 4 and day 7 of use of the placebo or active suspension, using a horizontal 100 mm, visual analog scale (VAS). If subjects were already on active treatment at the time of enrollment, they will be asked to discontinue for 7 days for a washout period before starting the research study. cord their spontaneous pain level on a 0-10 VAS. Participants will be contacted initially after the first day of the intervention to discuss any concerns or questions. Every week, reminder phone calls will be made to the subjects to fill out the forms from the investigator and to check for any side effects from the intervention. Both the patient and the investigator will be blinded for the content of each bottle.
Objective: This study investigated how patients' knowledge, attitude, and perceptions influence their oral hygiene practices as well as peri-implant health. Materials and Methods: Participants with single implant crowns placed in 2007-2011 completed a questionnaire that examined their knowledge, attitude, and perceptions on oral hygiene practices and peri-implant health before receiving a periodontal examination, prophylaxis, and oral hygiene education. Clinical parameters recorded were peri-implant probing depths and plaque index, width of keratinized mucosa, implant crown characteristics, reason for tooth loss, and diagnosis of peri-implant health.
Busulfan (Bu) has been widely used for the treatment of neoplastic and non-neoplastic hematological disturbances, with satisfactory results in terms of successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Individual monitoring of the Bu dosage, which is done by means of various blood sample collections, is necessary for the purpose of attaining ideal therapeutic levels and minimizing systemic toxicity. This procedure sometimes becomes costly to and uncomfortable for the patient. Saliva has been analyzed as a possible alternative fluid for this monitoring.
Patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy/conditioning prior to stem cell transplantation (SCT) are at high risk for developing painful lesions in the oral cavity, known as oral mucositis (OM). In this high risk adult population, the study objectives are to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of Gelclair® (GEL; an FDA cleared medical device indicated for the management of painful oral lesions) and ideal timing of initiation of therapy (at the time of conditioning or after mild OM is diagnosed) for the management of oral mucositis (OM), relative to a commercially available compounded mouth wash (First® Mouthwash BLM "Magic Mouth Wash"; MMW) initiated after mild OM is diagnosed. The study may be adapted based on an interim analysis and recommendations of the interim data review committee.
