Laser therapy for mouth sores in children having a bone marrow transplant
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special kind of laser therapy (called high-level laser therapy) can help heal severe mouth sores in children who are having a bone marrow transplant. If your child has painful mouth sores from the transplant, this treatment might reduce pain and speed healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are under 18 years old.
- You are getting a bone marrow transplant (also called hematopoietic stem cell transplant).
- You have mouth sores (oral mucositis) that are at least moderately painful (grade II or higher).
- You can come for 4 days in a row of laser treatment and return for follow-up 7 and 11 days later.

This study tests whether a special mouthwash made from copaiba (a natural oil) plus low-level laser therapy can prevent mouth sores caused by high-dose chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant. It might help reduce pain and trouble eating during your transplant treatment.
This trial tests if low-level laser therapy can reduce painful mouth ulcers caused by radiation treatment for oral cancer. It may help you keep your mouth healthier during therapy.
This trial tests a type of light treatment (photobiomodulation) placed in the mouth to help prevent painful mouth sores (oral mucositis) in adults getting a stem cell transplant. It may help reduce mouth discomfort and complications during transplant recovery.
This study tests whether shining a special light inside the mouth (photobiomodulation) can help prevent or heal mouth sores caused by chemotherapy. It is for children with certain cancers and aims to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
This study tests whether a coconut oil mouth rinse can help prevent mouth sores in children and young adults who are about to receive intense chemotherapy for a stem cell transplant. If mouth sores can be prevented, it may make treatment more comfortable and reduce complications.
This study tests whether a special, standardized mouth care routine can reduce mouth sores (called oral mucositis) in children getting a stem cell transplant. The care routine is simple and may help prevent painful mouth sores, making the transplant experience easier.
