This trial tests a special mouth spray made from cumin and ginger extracts to help with dry mouth in people on hemodialysis. If you have dry mouth and are on dialysis, this spray might offer a natural way to increase saliva and feel more comfortable.
This study tests whether “photobiomodulation” light therapy, guided by a phone app, can improve chronic dry mouth (xerostomia) in people who finished radiation for head and neck cancer. It may help reduce bothersome mouth dryness and support better day-to-day comfort after treatment.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help prevent or reduce dry mouth caused by chemotherapy and radiation for head and neck cancer. You would receive acupuncture treatments at different times during your radiation to find the best schedule for protecting your saliva glands.
This trial tests if acupressure can help with dry mouth caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you have dry mouth after treatment and can speak Cantonese or Mandarin, you may be able to join.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a citrus-flavored supplement (d-limonene gelcaps) can help prevent or reduce dry mouth (xerostomia) in people getting radiation plus chemotherapy for certain head and neck cancers. It aims to see how well the approach is tolerated and whether it can protect saliva function during treatment.
This trial tests a new treatment using special cells (mesenchymal stromal cells) from your own bone marrow to help with dry mouth that is not caused by radiation. The goal is to see if it can increase saliva production and improve quality of life.
