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.
