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.
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 study tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can safely help reduce painful mouth sores that develop during chemotherapy in children with blood cancers. The light therapy would be used alongside standard care to see if it helps children feel better faster.
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 study tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can prevent or treat mouth sores caused by chemotherapy in children with certain cancers. It may help reduce pain and make eating and drinking easier during treatment.
