Ozone Treatment for Dry Mouth After Head and Neck Radiation
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether ozone therapy can help restore saliva flow in patients who developed dry mouth as a side effect of radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. Dry mouth (xerostomia) can make eating and speaking difficult, so this trial explores a potential new treatment option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have completed head and neck radiotherapy (radiation treatment to the head or neck area)
- You have developed xerostomia, commonly known as dry mouth, as a result of your radiotherapy
- You have low saliva production (hyposalivation) confirmed by your doctor
- You do not currently have active cancer or malignant disease
- You are willing and able to sign an informed consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into saliva glands before starting radiation can reduce dry mouth side effects in people with advanced head and neck cancer. It may help patients who are about to begin radiation therapy.
This study tests if applying a low-level laser to acupuncture points can help reduce dry mouth caused by chemotherapy and radiation for head and neck cancer. If you are already getting chemoradiation for head and neck cancer and are experiencing dry mouth, this might be a way to feel better.
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 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 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 study is looking for proteins or other substances in the blood (biomarkers) that can help predict how well head and neck cancer patients respond to radiation therapy. If you have head and neck cancer and are scheduled for radiation, possibly with chemo, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy, you may be able to join.
