Filter by:This study will compare the use of the Chemo MouthpieceTM device along with best supportive oral care to best supportive oral care alone to rate the effectiveness of Chemo MouthpieceTM in lessening symptoms associated with chemotherapy regimen known to place patients at risk for symptomatic mucositis and, of those, chemotherapy regimens for which ice-based cryotherapy has been demonstrated to have a favorable impact on oral mucositis symptom management. Subjects who are receiving standard chemotherapy regimens will be randomly assigned to receive either study device and oral care ingredients or oral care ingredients only. All subjects will complete daily diaries for the first 14 days of chemotherapy Cycles 1 and 2. Subjects who are assigned to the study device arm will use the device during their chemotherapy infusion in clinic and will continue to use the device at home ,at least twice daily, for the first six (6) days of chemotherapy Cycles 1 and 2. Prior to the first chemotherapy infusion in Cycle 3, all subjects in the study regardless of treatment assignment will have the option of using the Chemo MouthpieceTM for subsequent cycles.
This study conducted to determine the effects of two oral care protocols containing sodium bicarbonate or saline solution in the prevention of oral mucositis (OM), mucositis degree, and recovery time in children with cancer.
This study included rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving Methotrexate as monotherapy. All eligible patients were subjected to thorough clinical examination and full history to identify oral events. Drug history, current dose and duration of MTX were recorded.
Objective: This randomized clinical trial assessed antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) mediated by Photodithazine (PDZ) to treat patients with denture stomatitis (DS). Methodologies: Patients with DS were randomly assigned to the groups: aPDT (n=30) and nystatin (NYS, n=35). aPDT patients received 6 aPDT sessions, three times a week for 15 days, which involved PDZ (200 mg/L) topical application (20 min) on the palate and upper denture, followed by light emitting diode (LED) illumination (660 nm, 50 J/cm²). NYS patients were instructed to rinse one dropper of this medication for one minute, four times a day, for 15 days. Microbiological collections of dentures and palates were performed and cultured on blood agar and CHROMAgar Candida. Microbial viability was determined, and photographs of the palates were taken for clinical evaluation. Data were analyzed by Repeated Measure Linear Model and Bonferroni (p≤0.05).
GTI-4419-202 is a Phase 2 open-label study of the effects of GC4419 (IV) when administered in combination with IMRT and cisplatin to up to subjects with head and neck cancer, who are at high risk for Severe Oral Mucositis (SOM)
The study aimed to study the effect of Bioptron light therapy (BLT) on oral mucositis after receiving chemotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer,Oral mucositis (OM) is a common and severe acute side-effect of many oncologic treatments, especially in patients treated for head and neck cancer. It affects quality of life and require supportive care and proper treatment plane. This study had been conducted on thirty cancer patients (head &neck) receiving chemotherapy & radiotherapy (males and females) with oral mucositis with ulceration and pain(grade 2 and more), their age ranged from 35 to 55 years, capable of understanding the study assessment method and willing to complete the current study, they were free from any immunodeficiency disorders or diseases that could impair the healing process and impact the results as diabetes mellitus. Patients were randomly allocated from patients from the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University. Group A (BLT group): This group consisted of 15 patients receiving BLT for about 10 minutes every day for thirty days in addition to routine oral mucositis medical care (Analgesics, anti-inflammatory treatment and antimicrobial treatment for any new mouth infections), Group B (Control group): This group consisted of 15 patients receiving daily routine oral mucositis medical care(Analgesics, anti-inflammatory treatment and antimicrobial treatment for any new mouth infections) for thirty days The methods of evaluation in the current study were the WHO oral mucositis scale (OMS) and the Common toxicity criteria scale (CTCS). At the same time, the treatment equipment was the polarized light therapy device Bioptron Compact III (PAG-860 manufactured in Switzerland) Assessment by WHO oral mucositis scale and (OMS) and (CTCS) were used before treatment and after treatment to measure improvement in oral mucositis. The results of WHO oral mucositis scale (OMS) and the Common toxicity criteria scale (CTCS) were assessed first at the beginning of the study and one month after the end of the study; calculation of mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum for each group was done by descriptive statistics, means comparison between the two groups pre and post-application and within each group was made using The t-test. With a level of significance Alpha point of 0.05
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of mouthwash with white tea in the prevention of paclitaxel induced oral mucositis in women with breast cancer.
Introduction: Traumatic oral lesions are common in the beginning of the orthodontic treatment, and pathogenic oral bacteria might be involved. We tested whether the probiotic Lactobacillus brevis CD2 (L brevis) is benefic in this condition. Methods: In a double-blind clinical trial, 20 patients were randomized to 21 days course of lozenges containing L brevis CD2 (4 billion colony-forming units after breakfast, lunch and dinner) or placebo, starting on the day of installation of the fixed orthodontic appliance. Main outcomes were days without oral lesions and oral pain score [ranging between 0 (no pain) and 10 (maximum)]. Oral health related quality of life was measured by OHIP-14 before and after treatments.
Recurrent aphthous ulcer is a painful inflammatory lesion with a high prevalence. Since the etiology is not clear, several strategies have been proposed to reduce pain and severity of its symptoms. Today, curcumin is considered as an herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory properties. Treatment or control of various inflammatory diseases has been proposed, but its low solubility in water has reduced bioavailability, while the use of nanoparticle pharmaceutical techniques has been able to solve these problems. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a new topical curcumin gel with nano-technology and compare it with 2% curcumin gel in patients with recurrent aphthous ulcers. This randomized clinical trial was performed on 48 patients assigned to two groups (nano-curcumin gel) and (curcumin gel). Before treatment, the size of the wound and VAS were measured. After intervention, the two variables were measured again on the fourth and seventh days , then the amount of improvement was quantitatively and qualitatively compared in the two groups and a significant level of less than 0.05 was considered.
The application of host-modulating bacteria for therapeutic purposes is one of the strongest emerging fields. Probiotics are live microorganisms, which, when administered in an adequate amount, confer a health benefit on the host The study aimed to explore the effectiveness of probiotics in the treatment of the common ulcerative condition; minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). We included sixty adult (group A) and 60 children patients (group B) with diagnosis of minor RAS . Both groups were divided into two subgroups, AI and BI (test subgroups ) and AII and BII (control subgroups). For test subgroups, probiotic lozenges were consecutively administered twice daily, for five days. The size and pain level of ulcers were recorded on treatment days 0, 3 and 5. The outbreak frequency of RAS within 6 months was investigated for all subgroups.
