What was measured

The primary outcome is the number of patients with oral mucositis grade ≥2 as assessed by the World Health Organization (WHO) oral mucositis grading scale, reflecting functional impairment in oral intake. Oral mucositis is assessed weekly to evaluate the preventive and therapeutic efficacy of low-level laser therapy in patients undergoing concomitant radiotherapy and chemotherapy for stage III-IV head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Groups in this outcome

Laser Low-level Energy Functional

The material used will be a diode laser of 100 mW, with a wavelength of 658 nm. Application will be made after each radiotherapy session in an adapted room (low light intensity, possibility of ENT examination) on all grade superior or equal to 2 stomatitis injuries. The energetic dose delivered will be 4 J/cm2. The duration of the treatment for one will be determined by an abacus. low level laser therapy

Laser Low-level Energy Nonfunctional

The procedure is identical to the one used in arm A but the laser will not be functional. The period of application will be around one minute. placebo (laser low level energy nonfunctional)
