First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests if a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can safely reduce mouth sores and pain caused by chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. About 44 people aged 4 and older who have not responded to at least one prior treatment will receive either real or fake light treatments. The goal is to see if the light helps heal mouth symptoms by day 28.
