Could kitchen staple coconut oil protect kids from Chemotherapy's painful mouth sores?

NCT ID NCT05441813

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a virgin coconut oil mouth rinse to standard care can help prevent severe mouth sores (oral mucositis) in children and young adults (ages 7-26) who are receiving strong chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant. Researchers will compare two groups: one using standard mouth rinses plus coconut oil, and another using only standard rinses. The goal is to see if the coconut oil rinse reduces the severity of these painful sores, which can make eating difficult and require strong pain medication.
