Clinical Trials

Oral mucositis management with photobiomodulation, Bidens pilosa L. (Asteraceae) and Curcuma longa L. (Zingiberaceae), the FITOPROT herbal medicine, and its influence on inflammatory cytokine levels: a randomized clinical trial.

Researchers found FITOPROT + PBM reduced OM in head neck cancer patients undergoing RT. It also decreased inflammatory cytokines. Consider using this combo for OM prevention in similar patients.
