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.

This study tests whether a special mouthwash made from copaiba (a natural oil) plus low-level laser therapy can prevent mouth sores caused by high-dose chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant. It might help reduce pain and trouble eating during your transplant treatment.
This study tests whether a special, standardized mouth care routine can reduce mouth sores (called oral mucositis) in children getting a stem cell transplant. The care routine is simple and may help prevent painful mouth sores, making the transplant experience easier.
This trial tests three different mouth rinses—sodium bicarbonate, saline, and black mulberry syrup—to see which one best prevents or lessens mouth sores (oral mucositis) in children receiving chemotherapy.
This trial is testing a single injection called Amimestrocel to prevent severe mouth sores in people getting a stem cell transplant. The study is for adults who are receiving high-dose conditioning with total body irradiation or melphalan, which often cause painful mouth inflammation.
This trial tests a type of light treatment (photobiomodulation) placed in the mouth to help prevent painful mouth sores (oral mucositis) in adults getting a stem cell transplant. It may help reduce mouth discomfort and complications during transplant recovery.
This trial tests whether applying cold and using artificial saliva can help prevent painful mouth sores caused by chemotherapy. If you're starting chemotherapy and don't have mouth sores yet, this might help you avoid them.
