Ozone treatment for dry mouth after head and neck radiation
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether ozone therapy can help people who have dry mouth and low saliva production after radiation treatment for head or neck cancer. The goal is to see if it can improve saliva flow and reduce discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had radiation therapy for head or neck cancer in the past.
- You now have a dry mouth (xerostomia).
- You have low saliva flow (hyposalivation).
- You do not have active cancer right now.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to join the study.

This trial tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) before radiation therapy can help protect your salivary glands and reduce dry mouth, a common side effect of radiation for head and neck cancer. If you're newly diagnosed with advanced head and neck cancer and are about to start radiation, this could be an option to explore.
This trial tests if adding ozone therapy to a special mouthwash routine can help heal painful mouth sores caused by chemotherapy or radiation. It is for cancer patients with mild to moderate oral mucositis.
This trial compares a new radiation technique designed to reduce dry mouth (xerostomia) with standard radiation for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see if the new approach can protect saliva glands while still treating the cancer effectively.
This trial compares two treatments—a salivary gland procedure (sialendoscopy) and a light therapy (photobiomodulation)—to prevent dry mouth caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you are about to start radiation and meet the dose limits, you may be eligible.
This trial tests a new type of treatment called circular RNA to see if it can help people with long-term dry mouth after radiation for head and neck cancer. It's for patients whose dry mouth hasn't gone away with other treatments.
This trial tests whether repeated stem cell treatments can help relieve dry mouth caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. The goal is to improve saliva production and quality of life for cancer survivors.
