TriangleNCT01439724 · STUDY IN CONTEXT
Low-level Laser Therapy to Prevent Oral Mucositis in Head and Neck Patients
Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. The condition was transformed or resolved through the terminology hierarchy to reach this cancer type, so the link itself is a candidate a reviewer must confirm. Found by searching ClinicalTrials.gov for this cancer type, restricted to studies that have posted results to the registry. No FDA notice, FDA label or NCI summary held by this site cites this study. Because the search asked for posted results, studies without posted results were never looked for, so their absence from this page means nothing.

Linked outcomes
The oral cavities of all patients were evaluated daily, from the first day until the last day of treatment. We used the scales of mucositis of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Oral Mucositis Assessment Scale (OMAS) and a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain assessment.
Oral mucositis survival free, pain, opioid treatment, hospitalization, treatment interruption, treatment delay, patient weight loss, nasogastric tube or of a gastrostomy.The oral cavities of all patients were evaluated, from the first day to the last day of treatment.

- The investigators used a diode laser (DMC, São Paulo, Brazil) InGaAlP (indium phosphide, gallium and aluminum), with 100 mW, 4J/cm ², with an area of 0.24 cm ². The laser was daily applied by a dentist and touched the mucosa of the lips, right and left buccal mucosa, left and right lateral tongue border, buccal floor and ventral tongue, totaling nine points per region.
