Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to be conducted with patients who are recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and will receive the first course of chemotherapyd. The data were collected using the Performance Score and the Oral Mucositis Evaluation Scale.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Oral mucositis is one of the common toxic effects of chemotherapy. Pain due to mucositis causes anorexia-dysphagia development and malnutrition. As a result, systemic infections can develop, dose reduction in chemotherapy courses, increase in cost and prolongation of hospital stay. Looking at the literature, chloroxidine, glutamine, palifermin was used to prevent the development of mucositis during 5-Fu-based therapy for colon cancer. Solutions such as bicarbonate were used. Although it was determined in these studies to prevent the development of oral mucositis, the incidence of mucositis is still high. Therefore, the search for new treatments and applications to prevent mucositis continues. Ankaferd Hemostat is a herbal product used as a hemostatic agent in traditional Turkish medicine. Ankaferd Hemostat affects endothelium, blood cells, angiogenesis, cellular reproduction and vascular dynamics and stimulates mediators that lead to rapidly progressive wound healing. In addition to these, the anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal and antioxidative effects of Ankaferd Hemostat are mentioned in the literature. In order to determine the effectiveness of Ankaferd Hemostat application in chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in adult patients, there is a single study conducted on 20 patients with mucositis grade 2-3 with hematological malignancy. While it is stated in the literature that the healing time of mucositis is the week after 7-14 days, it was seen that this decreased to 6.6 (3-10) days in the study conducted by Atay.
In another study conducted in the field of dentistry, the effectiveness of Ankaferd Hemostat in preventing the development of oroantral fistula was evaluated. In a study comparing the use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in one arm and Ankaferd Hemostat in the other arm, it was found that the antibacterial effect was more prominent in the Ankaferd Hemostat arm and the results of edema, bleeding and infection were similar in both arms .

Ankaferd Blood Stopper
Correct method of brush Preparation of the mouthwash Boiled and cooled water at 100°C Putting 4 ml of water in the 5 ml measuring cup given to the patient Putting Ankaferd Blood Stopper on the remaining 1 ml portion of the 5 ml beaker Giving information about making and using mouthwash Use on an empty stomach 2 hours before meals in the morning and at least 2 hours after dinner After rinsing your mouth thoroughly with a mouthwash containing 5 ml of Ankaferd Blood Stopper prepared 2 times a day, you can swallow the solution in your mouth.
It is said that there is a solution-related discoloration in the mouth and teeth, but that it will return to its original state after tooth brushing.
