NCT ID NCT07638904
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked back at medical records of 58 adult cancer patients who developed painful mouth sores from chemotherapy or radiation. They had been treated with a combination of ozone applied in the dentist's chair and ozone-based gels, toothpaste, and mouthwash at home. The goal was to see how quickly the sores healed and whether pain improved. Because this was a small review of past cases with no comparison group, the findings are only hints, not proof.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
ozone therapy (chairside ozone application and ozonized oral care products)
What this could lead to
If results are positive, this could point toward a simple, non-drug option to ease painful mouth sores during cancer therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study with no control group, so results are only suggestive. It cannot prove ozone therapy works better than standard care or no treatment.
