Filter by: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.
Cigarette smoking in conjugation with bad oral hygiene is considered a typical predisposing factor for many oral diseases including denture stomatitis. This study investigated the effect of Rose Bengal (RB)-and Curcumin (CUR)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) in comparison with nystatin therapy in the intervention of denture stomatitis in cigarette smokers. Overall, 45 habitual cigarette smokers aged ~58 years having denture stomatitis were categorized into three groups: Group-I - RB-mediated PDT, Group-II - CUR-mediated PDT, and Group-III - Nystatin therapy. The primary outcome of the interest was: counts of Candida colony from denture surface and palatal mucosa, calculated as CFU/mL, whereas the prevalence of Candida species determined in 3 research groups comprised the secondary outcome. Oral swab specimens were gathered from the denture surfaces and palatal mucosa. All clinical assessments were performed at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. C. albicans was the most prevalent yeast identified on both denture surfaces and palatal mucosa, followed by C. tropicalis and C. glabrata. A considerable decrease in the CFU/mL scores were observed in Group-I and Group-II at the end of the interventions and on the 12-week follow-up (p<0.05). Group-I, II, and III demonstrated clinical efficacy rates of 53%, 51%, and 49%, respectively. CUR-and RB-mediated PDT was found to be as effective as topical Nystatin therapy for the intervention of denture stomatitis among cigarette smokers.
evaluate preventive and therapeutic effects of Rebamipide gargle on reducing incidence of oral mucositis in comparison with benzydamine HCL mouthwash.
In this prospective, randomised, controlled, open-label, Phase III, non-inferiority clinical trial trial patients with a diagnosis of myeloma who were undergoing autologous HSCT were randomised 1:1 to receive cryotherapy for 7 hours or 2 hours . Oral mucositis was evaluated prospectively.
This is a phase 3, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled phase III clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ulinastatin, a kind of protease inhibitor, in the treatment of radiation-induced acute oral mucositis in localregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT). To Explore a new and efficient way to reduce the incidence and severity of radiation-induced acute oral mucositis.
Background: The Ebola virus causes a severe disease. It can be fatal. The usual incubation period after being exposed is 2 to 21 days. There is no approved treatment for Ebola infection. There is also no vaccine to prevent infection either before or after exposure. Researchers want to test an Ebola vaccine. They want to give it to people before they are exposed to the virus in order to prevent the disease. Objectives: To see how long-lasting and effective the vaccine rVSV[delta]G ZEBOV-GP (V920) is at preventing Ebola. Eligibility: Healthy adults at risk of exposure to the Ebola virus at work through lab or clinical contact. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Participants will get the study vaccine. It will be injected into their upper arm. Participants will be monitored closely for at least 30 minutes. They will get a diary card to record any symptoms they have from the vaccine for up to 14 days. Participants will have study visits at 1, 3, and 6 months after they get the vaccine, then every 6 months (that is, at months 12, 18, 19, 24, 30, and 36 of study) for a total of 36 months. Eighteen months after they join the study, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will get a second (or booster ) dose of the vaccine. The other group will not get a second dose. This study lasts 36 months.
This research is being done to evaluate whether or not the Oral Mucositis (OM) Pain App (a smartphone application) is a feasible and valid tool to assess pain from radiation sores (also referred to as "mucositis") when treating head and neck cancers with radiation. The mobile app will be designed to help people better understand the pain from the radiation sores.
RATIONALE: Polymerized (cross-linked) sucralfate malate paste (ProThelial) may be an effective single therapy approach for the management of chemoradiation mucositis, treating and preventing its occurrence in the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. PURPOSE: This observational multi-phase trial is studying how well polymerized (cross-linked) sucralfate malate paste (ProThelial) works to prevent and treat mucositis in adult patients who are to receive or have received chemo/radiation therapy that have caused or is anticipated to cause mucositis in the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small or large intestine. The Phase IV study addresses prevention and treatment in the oral cavity. The Phase I study addresses prevention and treatment in the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of SGX942 in patients receiving chemoradiation treatment for the treatment of head and neck cancer.
The study aims at evaluating the effect of omega-3 on patients suffering recurrent oral aphthous ulcers
