Mouth patch for canker sores: test with or without plant extract and steroid
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new mouth patch for painful canker sores. It compares a plain patch to one with natural plant extract (Acmella oleracea) and a steroid to see which heals faster and reduces pain better.
