Gum tablet tested to shorten cold sore misery

NCT ID NCT05098938

Summary

This study tested whether a small tablet that sticks to the gum (Sitavig) helps cold sores heal faster than a dummy tablet. Adults who get frequent cold sores applied one tablet at home when they felt a sore starting. Researchers tracked how long it took sores to heal completely over 14 days, followed by a year of monitoring for new outbreaks.
