Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess Honey in orabase (1:1) for treating patients with OLP and improving their quality of life:

The research question aims to answer:

Does honey in orabase (1:1) improve or reduce OLP symptoms compared to the standardized treatment by triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% drug and improve the patient's quality of life?

Participants will:

Take drug ABC or a placebo every day for 4 months Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they use a rescue inhaler

Detailed Description

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

The study comprised 56 patients diagnosed with Oral Lichen Planus, who were randomly selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The subjects were between 35 and 60 years old, capable of complying with the study procedure, and provided informed consent. Exclusion criteria encompassed those with alternative oral mucosal illnesses, systemic problems influencing OLP or wound healing, allergies or sensitivities to honey or triamcinolone, or those receiving systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs. Individuals who were pregnant or lactating, as well as those unable to provide informed written consent, were excluded.

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors
This was a double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial. Both participants and outcome assessors were blinded to the intervention. The honey in orabase and triamcinolone formulations were prepared to appear similar in color, texture, and packaging to ensure concealment. Identical containers were used for both treatments, and labeling was done using coded identifiers maintained by a third party not involved in the assessment or data analysis. Participants were instructed to apply the provided formulation as directed without being informed of the specific treatment assignment.

Study Groups

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

Group I with OLP at buccal mucosa

The trial Group (I) (honey in orabase 1: 1 paste), four times daily after meals or rinsing

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Honey in orabase 1: 1 paste

Intervention Type DRUG

The experimental drug was manufactured and packed at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Price Sattam University, SA. Production of a mucoadhesive paste involves a step-by-step process. in the final step, honey, comprising 50% of the total composition was thoroughly blended with the prepared base to ensure homogeneity

Group II with OLP at buccal mucosa

Group (II): triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% ointment, four times daily after meals or rinsing

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Honey in orabase 1: 1 paste

Intervention Type DRUG

The experimental drug was manufactured and packed at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Price Sattam University, SA. Production of a mucoadhesive paste involves a step-by-step process. in the final step, honey, comprising 50% of the total composition was thoroughly blended with the prepared base to ensure homogeneity
