Radiation Induced Oral Mucositis

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Citrus sinensis peel extract gel in the treatment of radiation-induced oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients. Thirty adult patients with head and neck cancer who develop oral mucositis during radiotherapy will be randomly allocated into two parallel groups. The intervention group will receive Citrus sinensis peel extract gel, while the control group will receive conventional supportive treatment. Clinical outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, 3 weeks, and 6 weeks, including pain intensity and severity of oral mucositis. Salivary total antioxidant capacity will be assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks.

This is a single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled study. The patients were divided into control group and experimental group, 80 cases each. From the first day of radiotherapy to the end of radiotherapy, the experimental group was treated with 24 grams of taurine granule (containing 4.8 grams of taurine) before each day's radiotherapy. The control group was treated with the same amount of placebo.

To explore the efficacy of Houyanqing Oral Liquid combined with conventional treatment in preventing and treating radiation-induced oral mucositis, so as to improve the quality of life of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients received radiotherapy.

This is a prospective, open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Kangfu Spray for the prevention of radiation-induced oral mucositis in patients with histologically confirmed oral malignancies receiving intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), with or without concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy. Eligible participants will undergo definitive or postoperative adjuvant IMRT according to multidisciplinary team recommendations. Participants in the experimental group will receive Kangfu Spray prophylactically from the first day of radiotherapy until completion of radiotherapy, in addition to standard oral care. The primary endpoint is the incidence of severe radiation-induced oral mucositis, defined as World Health Organization (WHO) grade 3 or higher. Secondary endpoints include time to onset and duration of severe oral mucositis, incidence and duration of any oral mucositis, oral ulcer and pain scores, radiotherapy interruption, opioid analgesic use, nutritional indicators, quality of life, and safety. Exploratory analyses will evaluate lymphocytes, inflammatory factors, and microbiota in blood and saliva.

Evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine oral liquid and mouthwash in the treatment of radiotherapy induced oral mucositis in patients with head and neck malignancies

This single-center randomized controlled trial evaluates the effects of cold (15-20°C) versus room-temperature (30-35°C) water gargling on oral mucositis severity, pain, and comfort in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Participants will rinse their mouth four times daily for 30-60 seconds over a 6-week radiotherapy course, with follow-up for two additional weeks. The study hypothesizes that cold-water rinsing can reduce the severity of radiation-induced oral mucositis (RTOM) and pain, improve oral comfort, and minimize treatment interruptions.

This study aims to find out if taking rice bran supplements can help reduce the painful mouth sores (oral mucositis) that often occur in patients with head and neck cancer who receive radiation therapy. The trial will include adult patients undergoing radiation treatment. Participants will be given rice bran supplements during their therapy to see if it can lessen these side effects and improve their overall quality of life.
