NCT ID NCT06981767
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a pineapple-derived enzyme (bromelain) to standard steroid treatment for oral lichen planus, a chronic inflammatory condition causing painful mouth sores. Researchers will enroll 42 adults with symptoms to see if bromelain reduces sores and pain as effectively as steroids, with fewer side effects. The goal is to find a safer, natural option for managing this uncomfortable condition.
