Coconut oil mouth rinse to prevent mouth sores during transplant
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a coconut oil mouth rinse can help prevent mouth sores in children and young adults who are about to receive intense chemotherapy for a stem cell transplant. If mouth sores can be prevented, it may make treatment more comfortable and reduce complications.
