Brief Summary

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

1. Compare the clinical efficacy of topical ginger extract versus triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% for symptomatic oral lichen planus (Primary Objective).
2. Investigate using immunohistochemical analysis the effect of the two different treatment modalities on FasL expression in oral lichen planus lesions (Secondary Objective).

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Group I Will include 14 patients receiving topical ginger extract 1% four times per day (after every meal and before going to bed) for eight weeks (Zakaria et al., 2020).

The study is designed to be a prospective randomized double blind 2 parallel arms controlled clinical trial.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Topical 6-Gingerol Group

Group I Will include 14 patients receiving topical ginger extract 1% four times per day (after every meal and before going to bed) for eight weeks (Zakaria et al., 2020).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

6-Gingerol

Intervention Type DRUG

6-gingerol gel will be applied locally to the participants suffering from oral lichen planus

Topical Steroid Group

Group II Will include 14 patients receiving topical steroid (triamcinolone acetonide 0.1%) four times per day for eight weeks (Laeijendecker et al., 2006)

In the fourth and eighth weeks, topical anti-fungal will be applied by a third-party medical personnel to avoid 2ry candidiasis for this group.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Males or females, aged from 40 to 60 years.
* Clinically proven painful Bullous/erosive (score 4) or atrophic (score 3) forms of OLP confirmed by the presence of red or erythromatous changes, or shallow ulcerations with fine lacy lines at the periphery of the lesion accentuated by stretching and not eliminated by rubbing (Wickham's striae) (Lozada-Nur and Miranda, 1997)
* Histopathologically, proven Bullous/erosive (score 4) or atrophic (score 3) forms of OLP confirmed by the presence of accepted histopathological criteria for lichen planus; basal cell liquefaction, band like lymphocytic infiltrate at the epithelial-stromal junction with degeneration of basal cell region (Ellis, 1967; Van der Meij and Van der Waal, 2003).

Exclusion Criteria

* History of drug induced lichenoid lesions.
* Presence of systemic conditions as; serious active or recurrent infections, malignancy, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or significant heart, liver, or renal diseases. Assessed using medical questionnaire guided by Cornell Medical Index (Pendleton et al., 2004).
* Smoking.
* Known hypersensitivity or severe adverse effects to the treatment drugs or to any ingredient of their preparation as mentioned in medical history.
* Pregnancy or breast-feeding.
* History of previous treatments potentially effective on OLP such as antimalarial agents, retinoids, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs from less than 2 weeks for topical medications, and 4 weeks for systemic medications prior to starting the study (Swift et al., 2005).
* Patients suffering from lichen planus skin lesions.
* Loss of pliability or flexibility in the tissues involved by the oral lesions of lichen planus.
* Histological signs of epithelial dysplasia or lichenoid lesions within the biopsied.
* Refusing to participate in the study.
* Vulnerable groups (handicapped, orphans and prisoners).
