Radiation-induced disorder

This trial tests whether a gentle electrical earpiece, worn twice daily for two weeks, can reduce brain swelling caused by radiation necrosis. The device stimulates a nerve in the ear to calm inflammation. Forty people with brain tumors who need a laser procedure will be randomly…

This phase 2 trial tests whether a daily dexamethasone enema can prevent or reduce acute rectal injury in 40 rectal cancer patients undergoing pelvic radiotherapy. One group starts the enema early (day 10 of radiation), while the other starts only after injury occurs. The goal is…

This early-phase trial tests whether umbilical cord blood cells can safely help people with chronic radiation enteritis, a painful gut condition caused by cancer radiation therapy. Ten adults who have had pelvic or abdominal radiation will receive three weekly infusions of these …

This early-stage trial tests whether umbilical cord blood cells can safely treat lung damage caused by radiation therapy for cancer. Ten adults who have not improved with standard care will receive three weekly infusions of these cells. The main goal is to check safety and see if…

This study tests whether a substance made from a patient's own blood, called platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), can prevent a serious condition called jawbone death after tooth extraction. The trial will include 40 people at high risk due to past radiation or certain medications. Half…

This study tests whether a daily Bergmann enema can prevent severe rectal injury caused by radiation therapy in 40 rectal cancer patients. Participants will receive the enema from the start of radiotherapy until 10 days after. The goal is to reduce the rate of moderate-to-severe …

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence-powered digital education program can reduce the severity of radiodermatitis (skin irritation from radiation) and improve quality of life in women with breast cancer. 38 patients will be randomly assigned to either receive the A…

This study tests whether daily soaks with normal saline (salt water) can reduce severe skin reactions caused by radiation therapy. About 150 adults with head and neck cancer or sarcoma will either get standard care or standard care plus a 5-10 minute saline soak each day. Researc…

This study tests whether daily red light therapy can prevent or reduce skin and mouth side effects in children aged 0-16 receiving radiation for cancer. About 248 kids will get a daily LED light treatment on the radiated area. Researchers will compare their side effects to those …

This study tests whether a traditional Chinese herbal formula called Qibei Jiedu can prevent or ease the painful skin rash (radiation dermatitis) that often occurs during breast cancer radiotherapy. Sixty women with early-stage breast cancer will receive either the herbal drink o…

This study tests a highly absorbable form of curcumin (from turmeric) in 72 adults with mid-to-low rectal cancer who are getting chemoradiation before surgery. The goal is to see if curcumin can reduce severe gut side effects like diarrhea and rectal pain. Researchers will also c…

This study aims to identify biological markers that could predict radiation-induced intestinal injury in people receiving abdominal radiotherapy. Researchers will observe 220 adult patients who are about to start high-dose radiation. By analyzing samples and outcomes, they hope t…

This study looks at 38 women who had pelvic side effects (like pain in the rectum, bladder, or vagina) after radiation or chemotherapy for gynecological cancers. Researchers will compare their gut bacteria to healthy controls and see if rectal ozone therapy changes the microbiome…

This study examines whether having COVID-19 increases the chance of lung inflammation (radiation pneumonitis) in breast cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. Researchers will review medical records of 200 patients to compare outcomes between those who had COVID-19 and thos…
