Filter by:Setting: Oral mucositis is a very common complication of cancer treatment, accounting, often at increased risk for infections and even the interruption of treatment, interfering with the prognosis of the disease. The low intensity laser therapy has been proposed as an alternative for the treatment and prevention of this side effect, with good results in terms of clinical and functional, speeding up the process of wound healing and reducing pain. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of using low power laser in the prevention of oral mucositis in patients with hematological cancer, undergoing chemotherapy for bone marrow transplantation. Methods: There will be a Clinical Trial Randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the effectiveness of using low power laser in the prevention of oral mucositis in patients with hematological cancer, undergoing chemotherapy for bone marrow transplantation. Participate in the study, patients who are in the condition mentioned above accepting participate and have aged over 18. Will be excluded from the study patients who have autoimmune disease, which present sensitivity to laser or who have already started treatment for oral mucositis prior to this study.The study variables are:-independent variable: whether or not the red laser of low power-dependent variables: oral mucositis, degree of mucositis, chemotherapy regimen, type of blood cancer. For determining the association between the independent variable and the dependent will be used chi-square tests of association (Pearson) and Fisher's exact test, if necessary. Will calculate the risk ratio (RR) as a measure of relative risk, with the confidence interval at 95% (IC95%).Also be calculated NNT (number needed to treat to obtain benefit) and NNH (number needed to harm getting). Will be adopted a significance level of 5%. The project was approved by the Ethics and Research iMIP. All patients will be appropriately informed about the objectives of the project and will only be included if they voluntarily agree to participate by signing the consent form. Keywords: laser, prevention and control; oral mucositis, bone marrow transplant.
RATIONALE: Polymerized (cross-linked) sucralfate malate paste (ProThelial) may be an effective single therapy approach for the management of chemoradiation mucositis, treating and preventing its occurrence in the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. PURPOSE: This observational multi-phase trial is studying how well polymerized (cross-linked) sucralfate malate paste (ProThelial) works to prevent and treat mucositis in adult patients who are to receive or have received chemo/radiation therapy that have caused or is anticipated to cause mucositis in the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small or large intestine. The Phase IV study addresses prevention and treatment in the oral cavity. The Phase I study addresses prevention and treatment in the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of SGX942 in patients receiving chemoradiation treatment for the treatment of head and neck cancer.
To investigate what the body does to single doses of Sativex (i.e. the pharmacokinetics [PKs] of four sprays containing 10.8 mg Δ9 tetrahydrocannabinol [THC] and 10 mg cannabidiol [CBD]) when mild, moderate or severe oral mucositis is induced. This will be done by looking at the effects of the body on the drug before and after oral mucositis is induced. The study participants will have Non-surgical Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), and oral mucositis will be induced with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.
The aim of this study was evaluate the effects of the oral probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri Prodentis upon the peri-implant health of edentulous patients with dental implants and peri-implant mucositis, establishing comparisons versus implants without peri-implant disease. The hypothesis of the study is that using these probiotics are going to improve the periimplant health.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if glutamine can help control and prevent sores, blisters, or inflammation in your mouth or esophagus due to your current treatment. In this study, glutamine will be compared to a placebo. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the drug but is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect.
The purpose of this study is to: - evaluate the activity of SAMITAL in reducing the incidence of severe mucositis in head-and-neck cancer patients undergoing chemo-radiotherapy. - assess tolerability of SAMITAL and the impact on patients reported outcomes.
This is a pilot study. The investigators hypothesize that the peri-implant soft tissue response to de novo plaque accumulation is similar to that of normal gingival tissue in the same subjects. The investigators propose to conduct a controlled clinical trial to evaluate peri-implant soft tissue response to de novo plaque accumulation in comparison to the response of gingival tissue in the same subjects
A Clinical Study to Assess Radiation Induced Mucositis in Subjects with Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck
This study involves adults receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer and will test whether or not the study mouthrinse may lessen oral mucositis.
