Light therapy may soothe chemo mouth sores in children
NCT ID NCT07372443
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a special light (photobiomodulation) can prevent and treat painful mouth sores caused by chemotherapy in children aged 4-17 with cancer. Half of the 49 participants will get light therapy, and the other half will get a standard gel. The goal is to see if the light reduces soreness, pain, and healing time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
photobiomodulation (low-level light therapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to prevent and treat painful mouth sores in children undergoing chemotherapy, improving their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 49 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The light therapy may not work better than the standard gel, and the study hasn't started yet.
