NCT ID NCT07387978
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a special light treatment, called photobiomodulation, can reduce the severity and frequency of painful mouth sores in oral cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. About 30 adults who have had surgery for oral cancer will receive the light treatment five times a week during their radiation course. The goal is to see if this approach improves comfort and quality of life during cancer treatment.
