Summary
This study tests whether injecting ozone gas into the salivary glands can increase saliva production and improve quality of life in people who developed dry mouth after head and neck radiotherapy. One hundred participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ozone injections or no additional treatment. Researchers will measure saliva flow and use questionnaires to assess changes over 12 weekly sessions.
