NCT ID NCT02276573
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explored whether the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) contributes to inflammation in oral lichen planus, a chronic mouth condition that can be painful. Researchers measured levels of EBV genetic material in 13 adults with the atrophic or erosive form of the disease. The goal was to better understand what causes the condition, not to test a treatment.
