This trial tests three different mouth rinses—sodium bicarbonate, saline, and black mulberry syrup—to see which one best prevents or lessens mouth sores (oral mucositis) in children receiving chemotherapy.
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 trial tests whether using xylitol dental wipes can lower the risk of bloodstream infections in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are receiving chemotherapy. If you or your child have AML and will have at least two cycles of chemo that include cytarabine, this study may help reduce infection risk.
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 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 whether applying cold and using artificial saliva can help prevent painful mouth sores caused by chemotherapy. If you're starting chemotherapy and don't have mouth sores yet, this might help you avoid them.
