First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether applying medical ozone gas to mouth sores can reduce pain and severity in people undergoing radiation or chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. Fifty participants will receive ozone therapy, and half will also use a special toothpaste and mouthwash at home. The goal is to see if these treatments help people eat, drink, and continue cancer therapy with less discomfort.
