Clinical Trial Summary

Radiation-induced dermatitis is the most common complication of radiotherapy for cancer treatment. However, there is no satisfactory management to deal with the problem. Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang Powder is one of most common topical TCM drug to treat skin diseases but lack of evidence to support efficacy. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang Powder for radiation-induced dermatitis.


Clinical Trial Description

The common management of head and neck cancer are concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) after surgical section. Radiation-induced dermatitis is the most common complication of radiotherapy for cancer, affecting approximately 95 percent of patients receiving radiotherapy. The skin changes include erythema, edema, pigment changes, hair loss, and dry or moist desquamation. It may cause xerostomia, hard food taking, severe infection to delay the completion of course of treatment. Although, there are lots of topical drug to deal with radiation dermatitis, there is no best way to manage the skin problems. Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang Powder is one of most common topical TCM drug to treat skin ulcer, joint swelling or other infective or inflammatory diseases. Some study showed that Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang Powder can be used to decrease edema or swelling, pain relief, decrease phlebitis or mumps. However, there is no related evidence to support Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang Powder for radiation dermatitis. Thus, the aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang Powder for radiation-induced dermatitis. ;
