Laser treatment for better mouth opening in oral fibrosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if a special laser therapy (photobiomodulation) helps people with oral submucous fibrosis open their mouths wider. It's for people who haven't had other treatments for this condition in the last three months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old.
- You haven't had any medical, surgical, or other therapy for OSMF in the last 3 months.

This study tests a weekly treatment that alternates between two injections—a steroid (triamcinolone) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP, made from your own blood)—to help reduce mouth stiffness and burning caused by oral submucous fibrosis. It may improve your ability to open your mouth and ease discomfort.
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.
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 study tests two ways to treat painful mouth sores caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Half of the participants will receive laser light therapy alone, and the other half will receive laser light plus an oxygen gel applied to the sores. The goal is to see if adding the oxygen gel helps the sores heal faster and reduces pain.
This trial tests whether a special light treatment, called photobiomodulation, can help reduce pain and speed up healing after a specific type of dental surgery on the root of a tooth. The surgery involves a small cut in the gum, and the light may help the gum recover faster.
This study compares two treatment approaches—liquid fibrin (a clotting substance) and soft laser therapy—to help healing and prevent relapse after surgery to reduce a gummy smile caused by an overactive upper lip. The goal is to find which method works better for long-term results.
