New cream for radiation skin damage in head and neck cancer
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of cream made with tiny particles that mop up harmful molecules to prevent or treat skin damage from radiation. It is for people with head or neck cancer receiving high-dose radiation to see if it can reduce skin redness, pain, and peeling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a special cream that reduces skin irritation from radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. It combines the cream with mild heat to help prevent or treat radiation burns.
This trial tests a special lipid that may protect the skin from radiation damage during treatment for head and neck cancer. If it works, it could help prevent or treat the painful skin irritation that often occurs with radiation therapy.
This study tests a special cream that may prevent skin irritation (radiation dermatitis) caused by radiation therapy for breast cancer. The cream is made from natural weak acids and aims to protect the skin by keeping the skin's microbiome healthy.
This trial tests whether taking oral capsules or using a topical cream containing green tea extracts (catechins) can prevent or reduce skin irritation caused by radiation therapy for cancer. It is designed for people who are about to start radiation or who have just developed mild redness on the treated skin.
This study tests a small skin graft approach to help wounds caused by prior radiation heal better. If you have a radiation-related skin wound that usually heals slowly on its own, this may speed healing and improve comfort.
