Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine the Chamomilla recutita solution dose needed to reduce the intensity and evolution time of oral mucositis in adult subjects submitted to HSCT.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Population: adult subjects, submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) at a cancer hospital in the interior of São Paulo State. The following inclusion criteria were adopted for sample selection purposes: subjects over 18 years of age, candidates for allogeneic HSCT and with intact oral cavity on the first day of conditioning. Subjects will be excluded if they present any adverse reaction to the active principles of Chamomilla recutita; receive oral or intravenous anticoagulation therapy; use oral or systemic topical anti-inflammatory medication; receive any other type of intervention for mucositis not included in the standard oral care protocol.

standard oral care protocol

The standard protocol at the unit, which comprises mouthwash with chlorhexidine 0,12%; oral hygiene teaching. In case the toothbrush cannot be used due to gingival or oral mucosa bleeding, gauze is used to replace it.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard oral care protocol

Intervention Type OTHER

The standard protocol at the unit, which comprises mouthwash with chlorhexidine 0,12% twice a day; oral hygiene teaching, recommended at least three times per day and always after meals. For brushing, brushes with extra-soft bristles and non-abrasive toothpaste are used. In case the toothbrush cannot be used due to gingival or oral mucosa bleeding, gauze is used to replace it.

mouthwash with Chamomilla extract 0.5%

The Chamomile recutita mouthwash 0.5% was administered two times daily for 30 days, starting on the first day of chemotherapy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
