Study on nerve cells and oral cancer pain
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain nerve cells might be involved in oral cancer pain. It aims to find new ways to treat pain by testing tissue samples from people with oral cancer and healthy volunteers.

This study looks at tissue and blood samples from people with mouth conditions that could become cancer or are already cancer. It aims to learn more about these conditions to improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at the types of bacteria in the mouth (the microbiome) in people with oral squamous cell cancer and compares them to people without this cancer. It may help researchers understand what’s different in oral cancer and what could be useful for diagnosis or treatment planning.
This study looks at nerve-related symptoms and pain in the mouth and throat in people who have been treated for oral or oropharynx cancer. You may be able to take part if you’re within 1 to 5 years after treatment and can follow study steps.
This study looks at the cells in oral cancer tumors removed during surgery. By analyzing these cells, researchers hope to better understand the cancer and improve future treatments. It does not involve extra treatment — just donating a small sample of your tumor for research.
This study looks at how oral cancer develops, from early changes in the mouth to invasive cancer. It may help find better ways to prevent or treat oral cancer. If you are having surgery for oral cancer or have a precancerous mouth condition, you may be able to join.
This study looks at why some people with cancer develop nerve pain (neuropathic pain) during treatment. By tracking your health and symptoms, researchers hope to find ways to predict and prevent this side effect.
