Preventing mouth sores with laser therapy in stem cell transplant
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a low-power laser can prevent painful mouth sores and throat pain in people getting a stem cell transplant from a donor. The laser is applied to the mouth before sores start, aiming to reduce pain and speed healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 kind of laser therapy (called high-level laser therapy) can help heal severe mouth sores in children who are having a bone marrow transplant. If your child has painful mouth sores from the transplant, this treatment might reduce pain and speed healing.
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 low-level laser therapy (using special light on the mouth) can prevent or reduce mouth sores caused by chemotherapy in children and young adults. It may help you avoid painful inflammation that can affect eating, comfort, and treatment.
This trial tests if low-level laser therapy can reduce painful mouth ulcers caused by radiation treatment for oral cancer. It may help you keep your mouth healthier during therapy.
