Official title
A Phase I/II Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Curcumin in Patients With Oral Mucositis Secondary to Chemotherapy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Oral mucositis is a common side effect from cancer treatment. Patients receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy can get very painful sores in their mouth that compromise nutrition and oral hygiene as well as increase risk for infection, and can last for weeks. Currently, the only treatment for mucositis is oral hygiene to try to support recovery. Curcumin (also known as Turmeric) is a frequently-used spice in India and Southeast Asia. Studies in cells and animals have shown that it can reduce the amount of bacteria and can prevent inflammation. In this study, the investigators want to learn if a mouthwash made with curcumin is safe for people to use and if it can help their mucositis.
