Stem cell therapy for dry mouth not from radiation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy, Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have dry mouth not caused by radiation treatment
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You have both submandibular glands (under the jaw) and they are healthy
- You do not have salivary stones
- Your diabetes is well-controlled (if you have diabetes)

This trial tests a new treatment using stem cells and exosomes (tiny healing particles) injected into the salivary glands under the jaw. It aims to improve saliva production and relieve dry mouth in people with primary Sjögren syndrome.
This trial is testing a new treatment for severe dry mouth caused by autoimmune diseases like Sjögren's syndrome. The treatment uses a special type of fat-derived cells, which may help repair the glands that produce saliva, potentially reducing dry mouth symptoms and improving quality of life.
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 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 whether repeated stem cell treatments can help relieve dry mouth caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. The goal is to improve saliva production and quality of life for cancer survivors.
This trial tests if injecting fat-derived stem cells into the salivary glands can help relieve dry mouth in people with Sjögren's disease. It aims to improve saliva flow and reduce discomfort.
