Miracle fruit for taste changes during cancer treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a freeze-dried miracle fruit product (MiraBurst) can help improve taste changes (dysgeusia) caused by cancer treatment. If you are on active cancer treatment and have noticed a metallic, bitter, or unpleasant taste, this study may offer a way to make food taste better.
