This study looks at certain proteins in saliva to better understand recurrent aphthous stomatitis (common mouth ulcers). If you have frequent mouth ulcers, you might help researchers learn more about the condition.
This study compares two treatments for recurrent mouth ulcers (aphthous stomatitis): a topical enzyme called bromelain and a topical corticosteroid. The goal is to see which is more effective at healing the ulcers and reducing pain.
This study tests a gel made from a spirulina (a type of algae) derivative to see if it can soothe and protect the esophagus during radiation therapy for esophageal cancer. It aims to reduce the pain and inflammation caused by radiation, known as esophagitis.
This trial tests if taurine can help reduce mouth sores and skin burns caused by radiation therapy for oral or throat cancer. You need to be starting a standard 30-session radiation course and have no other cancer treatments at the same time.
This trial tests if hydroxychloroquine tablets can prevent or reduce mouth sores caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you are about to start radiation for head and neck cancer and have not had radiation before, this study might help manage painful mouth sores.
This trial tests whether inhaling tiny particles from stem cells can prevent or treat painful mouth sores caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If it works, it might make radiation treatment more comfortable.
