Filter by:A randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial will be carried out on 20 patients complaining from aphthus ulcer and 10 patient healthy control 10 patients treated with mucoadhesive gel containing 2% of basil extract 4 times per day (test group) for 20 min after every meal and before going to bed. The other 10 patients treated by mucoadhesive gel without drug which was used as placebo (composed from 6% w/w PVA (Mw = 31-50 kDa, 98-99% hydrolysed) and 2% w/w sodium tetraydroxy borate) 4 times per day 10 healthy patients will be selected to participate in the study to test the salivary level of endocan in the healthy individuals (negative control group)
Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer can cause severe mucositis (ulcers in the mouth) and pain. Photobiomodulation (Light therapy) will be used before and during radiotherapy to try to reduce the occurence and severity of mucositis in patients treated with radiotherapy for head and neck cancer Previous studies in head and neck cancer patients have shown that photobiomodulation (light therapy) can prevent mucositis. There are currently no centers in Canada using this technique in routine practice, but this is recommended in International guidelines and widely used in Europe. The investigators therefore wish to implement this technique in Ottawa under the umbrella of a clinical trial to insure its safety and efficacy in a Canadian context.
The proposed study in patients with previously untreated locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three different doses of MIT-001 compared to the placebo in prevention of oral mucositis (OM) in patients with HNSCC who are undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
Chemotherapy-induced oropharyngeal mucositis (OM) negatively impacts the quality of life of adult and pediatric patients by causing pain, dysphagia, dysgeusia and dysphonia. Photobiomodulation (PBM) by low level laser therapy (LLLT), light therapy of low level of red and infrared wavelengths (630-1000 nm) has been recommended since 2014 in patients treated with high-dose chemotherapy for bone marrow transplantation. Available pediatric studies highlighted positive/promising results of PBM with excellent safety and no adverse effects. Nevertheless, a wide variety of application parameters is described in the literature, with no consensus guidelines. Considering the lack of standardized protocol of photobiomodulation in the pediatric population as well as the burden and cost of a daily application, investigators have decided to conduct, for the first time in children of 3 years of age or older, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority clinical trial to compare two PBM protocols with same PBM parameters, combining red and infrared wavelengths, but with different frequencies of laser application (daily versus every other day), in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced OM of WHO grade 2 or higher.
The investigators plan to conduct a 3-year pioneering care research project for mucositis in cancer patients. These include: (1) an analysis of the incidence and severity of mucositis, severity, treatment methods, and treatment costs; (2) an RCT comparing the effectiveness of honey, Taiwan green propolis, and usual care in mucositis of cancer patients; (3) monitoring of related symptom changes using a smart bracelet device; (4) a measurement of IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF in saliva and (4) modeling of the trend of mucositis for alertness and search of essential parameters of the complications.
the main aim of this study is to clinically assess the effectiveness of topical chamomile oral gel in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis.
The main aim of this study was to evaluate clinically the effect of topical oral vitamin D gel in comparison to conventional therapy in prevention of radiation - induced oral mucositis
Oral mucositis (OM) is an acute side effect of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC). OM associated pain affects oral functions and nutrition of the patient that may result in discontinuity of treatment.The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Compound Kushen Injection (CKI) on oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy of head and neck cancer.
The goal of this randomized trial is to investigate whether the addition of a reminder app to standard care leads to a reduction of dermatitis and oral mucositis during radio(chemo)therapy for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head-and-neck (SCCHN). The primary endpoint is the rate of patients experiencing grade ≥2 radiation dermatitis at 60 Gy of radiotherapy. 80 patients are required per arm within the full analysis set. Taking into account that 5% of patients will not qualify for full analysis set, 168 patients should be randomized. If the addition of a reminder app to standard care will result in a significant reduction of radiation toxicity, it could become a helpful tool for these patients.
To assess the efficacy of preventive Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for reducing the incidence of WHO's grade 3-4 oral mucositis in children and young adults receiving chemotherapy regimens associated with a high rate of mucositis: conventional chemotherapy or High Dose Chemotherapy (HDC) conditioning regimens with Hematological Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT).
