Filter by:According to the data from the World Health Organization, approximately 14 million people are diagnosed with cancer every year, and this number is expected to increase further in the next 10 years. Multidisciplinary treatment consisting of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery is applied in childhood cancers. In chemotherapy, the target is cancerous cells, but high doses of chemotherapeutic agents do not have selectivity. Intact tissue cells are also affected by this cytotoxicity. Mucositis develops in the patient, especially as a result of the mucosal cells being affected. Mucositis is defined as damage to the mucosa lining the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, oesophagus and gastrointestinal tract due to cancer treatment. It is one of the most important side effects of both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This study is carried out to determine the effectiveness of propolis in preventing the formation of oral mucositis due to multiple use of chemotherapeutic drugs.
As mentioned above, several prior studies have shown the positive effects of oral use of aloe vera juice in managing chemotherapy and radiation-induced oral mucositis and esophagitis. This study aims to add to the existing body of research around aloe vera juice and its effects on oral mucositis and esophagitis. The intention is to determine whether aloe vera juice should be considered as part of standard treatment.
To explore a more efficient and scientific clinical treatment plan for acute radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis(RIOM/RTOM).it is hoped that the drug combination can more effectively improve the cure rate of acute RIOM,reduce the degree of oral mucosal injury and utilization rate of analgesic drugs,and reduce the occurrence of severe acute RIOM. Almost all patients with head and neck will have RIOM because of receiving radiation therapy.Studies have shown that the incidence of severe acute RIOM accounted for about 34% to 56%.There is no specific drug when acute RIOM is often accompanied by varying degrees of pain and infection in the mouth.Severe RIOM seriously affects ingestion through the mouth and doesn't conducive to the treatment and prognosis of tumor diseases. To further explore the efficiency and advantages of the combined application of Jeksung and anti-radiation spray in the treatment of acute RIOM at all levels,and provide more data support for relevant clinical treatment.Explore whether the Jeksung with combination of anti-radiation spray can effectively delay the occurrence of acute RIOM and delay the course of the disease.It will be expected to improve the quality of life of cancer patients ,reduce the occurrence of adverse events due during radiotherapy.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of Herbal gargle on chemoradiotherapy-induced stomatitis in head & neck cancer patients.
1. Study Design - Prospective, Randomized, Questionnaire-Based Study - Study Type: Phase 1/Phase 2 Interventional Clinical Trial - Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment - Masking: None (Open-label) - Actual Enrollment: 100 participants - Allocation: Randomized - Primary Purpose: Supportive Care/Treatment - Study groups - Control Group (Group 1): Saline mouthwash (±Bocaliner™) - Intervention Group (Group 2): Benzydamine mouthwash (±Bocaliner™) 2. Settings - Single-center (a specialized hematology center) - Location: Hematology Center after Prof. R. Yeolyan, 7 Nersisyan St, Yerevan 0014, Armenia - Subjects will initially be enrolled, consented, examined, and complete initial questionnaires in the healthcare provider's office Subjects will undergo initial evaluation and follow-up examinations to determine WHO Oral Mucositis Scores - Subjects will complete questionnaires at the medical center with the Research Coordinator 7 and 14 days after study enrollment. Subjects using Bocaliner™ will additionally complete a follow-up questionnaire. - Application of Bocaliner™ will be carried out first at the hospital followed by self-administration at home.
This is a single center pilot study evaluating intraoral photobiomodulation for the prevention of oral mucositis in patients undergoing myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). Patients who are planned for alloHCT will receive daily intraoral photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) using a novel LED device. The name of the study device involved in this study is: - THOR LX2.3 with LED Lollipop
Patients with head and neck cancer generally receive a standard of care of 7 weeks of daily radiation therapy given alongside an aggressive chemotherapy drug called cisplatin. While rates of cure are often strong for patients who are able to complete treatment without any unscheduled breaks, the rates of high grade toxicity associated with this treatment are high even with the use of the most modern techniques of treatment. Pain, swallowing dysfunction, loss of taste sensation, and ulceration of the mouth and throat are ubiquitous and often contribute to a nutritional breakdown requiring feeding tube placement. Unfortunately, even with aggressive use of opioids and other conventional palliation methods, breakthrough pain and other toxicities are very common. In addition to the quality of life burdens of these side effects, patients who are unable to complete treatment on schedule have worse control of their cancer and worse overall survival. Clearly, there is a clinical need for better management of these toxicities. The investigators hypothesize that ketamine mouthwash may effectively reduce both pain and the need for opioid drugs in this patient population. There is a large body of literature supporting the use of ketamine for pain control in diseases other than cancer, and a smaller but growing body of literature showing the effectiveness of ketamine for control of cancer-associated pain. Additionally, by providing ketamine in mouthwash form, the evidence shows that one can avoid the side effects associated with giving ketamine throughout the body, and in fact no significant side effects have been reported so far with this treatment. In this study, the investigators will provide ketamine mouthwash to patients undergoing the standard treatment for this disease over a two week period, and measure their response in terms of both pain and need for opioids, as well as other measurements of quality of life. The investigators will also measure unscheduled interruptions in treatment. In years to come, the data from this study may show an impact on cancer control and survival.
After signing the informed consent, the participant will be allocated to either intervention or control group, then each participant will use either 0.15% benzydamine (Comparator) or 4% tulsi (Intervention) four times a day and also once half an hour before each radiotherapy session.
This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of topical olive oil application both clinically and biochemically as a suitable affordable treatment modality for prevention and management of radiation oral mucositis and its associated pain for head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy.
This study aims to propose an alternative and auxiliary methodology for the prevention and treatment of Oral Mucositis (OM) in patients undergoing radiotherapy or radio and chemotherapy for head and neck neoplasms through the use of copaiba-based mouthwash, since the treatment that currently has proven efficacy for the prevention of OM(Low Power Laser Therapy) cannot be applied in tumor regions due to the risk of stimulating the tissue proliferation of malignant cells.
