First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated May 30, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special foam dressing (Mepilex Lite) placed inside the anal canal, combined with a pain-relief suppository (indomethacin), can better treat painful skin damage caused by radiation therapy for rectal cancer. About 274 adults who develop moderate to severe skin irritation during their first round of radiation will be randomly assigned to get either standard care plus the suppository, or the same plus the dressing. The main goal is to see if the dressing improves healing and reduces pain over 14 days.
