Green tea extracts for radiation skin side effects
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 if a special film placed on the skin can reduce radiation side effects in people who have had breast cancer surgery and are now getting radiation therapy.
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 study asks whether having radiation therapy again to the same breast or chest (15 sessions over 3 weeks) causes more skin redness, peeling, or pain. The goal is to learn more about side effects so doctors can better prepare and support patients who need a second course of breast radiation.
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.
