Filter by:The investigators will conduct a 2-arm 6-month randomized clinical controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an oral Telehealth Intervention (THI) in preventing cancer-related oral complications, improving oral health maintenance and oral health related quality of life, and reducing systemic inflammation compared to Usual Care (UC) among unselected cancer survivors.
The device´s intended use is to treat defects and/or lesions of the oral mucosa, e.g. oral mucositis.To prove safety of the device in terms of clinical results.
Introduction: Among the most drastic complications of chemotherapy is oral mucositis(OM). It is a painful inflammatory, often ulcerative condition and may increase risk for systemic infections leading to prolonged hospital stays and interruptions of treatment protocol. Many treatment modalities have been introduced for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis , of which low level laser therapy(LLLT) is gaining popularity. The use of LLLT as a prophylactic treatment for chemotherapy induced oral mucositis in pediatric cancer patients is still lacking robust evidence. Also, the parameters used have not been optimized and no standard method has yet been established. Based on this point, this study will compare photobiomodulation to the conventional preventive program of oral mucositis applied in 57357 children's cancer hospital foundation to determine which will be optimal for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced OM. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of low level laser therapy in the prophylaxis of oral mucositis in pediatric patients diagnosed with Hematological cancers. Methods: This study is a randomized, prospective, double-blinded trial that will include acute Myeloid leukemia patients admitted to receive chemotherapy cycle between the age of 3 and 18years. These patients will be randomized into two groups: group 1 will receive low level laser therapy and group 2 will receive mock treatment. Patient will be followed to asses the development of oral mucositis on prespecified time points.
The study is a Clinical Trial and the main objective is to Evaluate the effects of probiotics on oral complications induced by antineoplastic therapies in patients with head and neck cancer, attended at the radiotherapy service of the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) Hospitalet and at the Dental Hospital of the University of Barcelona (HOUB), Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Bellvitge campus during the period 2022- 2024. Research question: Is the use of probiotics compared to placebo effective in reducing oral complications produced by antineoplastic therapies in patients with head and neck cancer attended in the radiotherapy service at the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) Hospitalet and the Dental Hospital of the University of Barcelona, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences campus Bellvitge during the period 2022- 2024? Study population: Patients attended at the radiotherapy service of the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) Hospitalet and at the Dental Hospital of the University of Barcelona (HOUB), (Master of Dentistry in Oncology and Immunocompromised Patients) diagnosed by histological confirmation of head and neck cancer and treated in the last year.Intervention: Patients who agree to participate in the study will be randomized to the intervention or control group. Two visits will be made, the first as a baseline measurement and the second after the end of the intervention. In the first visit they will be given the products either probiotic or placebo, with presentation of a box with 10 sachets. The probiotics contain: Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus casei, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. 1 x 10e10 Colony Forming Units (CFU). And the placebo composed of excipients. They are gluten free. Each patient will be given 1 sachet dissolved in water, to take 2-3 minutes of mouthfuls then swallow, after brushing, once a day, for 30 days.
The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of non-invasive photodynamic therapy by Curcumin and photo-bio-modulation low level (LL) laser treatment in managing mucositis induced by chemotherapy in pediatric patients. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted involving 90 patients aged between 3 years and 15 years. The trial will be open, controlled, and blinded, and the patients will be divided into two groups.
The goal of this observational study is to apply the CNN-based DL method to extract the three-dimensional spatial information of IMRT dose distribution to predict the occurrence probability of serious radiotherapy and chemotherapy induced oral mucositis(SRCOM), and compare with a model based on dosimetry, NTCP or doseomics to improve the prediction accuracy of SRCOM, thus guiding the clinical planning design, reducing the occurrence probability of OM, and may have the potential value of preventing serious complications and improving the quality of life in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the oral and maxillofacial region. Currently, surgery is the main method of comprehensive treatment. TPF (paclitaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil) chemotherapy regimen is one of the important methods for the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy before and after surgery can significantly improve the therapeutic effect of oral cancer patients. Oral mucositis (OM) is a common side effect during chemotherapy, which seriously affects the quality of life of chemotherapy patients and may lead to the termination of chemotherapy. Prevention and treatment of oral mucositis is still an urgent clinical problem. Investigators' previous studies have found that vitamin D can significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, and vitamin D can protect normal oral mucosal tissue by inhibiting pyroptosis caused by platinum-based chemotherapy drugs. Based on the previous basic research, this project intends to conduct a single-center, prospective, clinical randomized controlled study on the clinical efficacy of vitamin D in reducing oral mucosal inflammation in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma undergoing TPF chemotherapy, in order to provide evidence-based medical evidence for the clinical use of vitamin D in reducing oral mucosal inflammation in patients with oral cancer chemotherapy. The results of this study are expected to serve as guidelines to guide clinical practice.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate in a clinical condition the effectiveness of a preparation that is a mixture of plant extracts rich in polyphenolic compounds in the aspect of supporting cancer patients in minimizing side effects after a radiation therapy cycle.
The purpose of this study is to determine if RRx-001, which is added on to the cisplatin and radiation treatment, reduces the incidence 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 will receive RRx-001 or placebo before start of standard of care treatment.
Inpatients or outpatients diagnosed with head and neck cancer who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were referred to the co-investigator(Dr. Chih-Jen Huang and Dr. Hui-Ching Wang), who then personally explained to each participant, the purpose and conduct of the study, so that they all understood their rights and interests before giving a written consent.
