This study tested whether a gel made from neem, a natural plant extract, can treat oral lichen planus, a chronic inflammatory mouth condition. Sixty adults used either neem gel or a standard steroid paste twice daily for three months. Researchers measured pain, lesion severity, a…

This study tested two drugs—apremilast and methotrexate—added to standard steroid treatment for people with moderate to severe oral lichen planus, a painful inflammatory mouth condition. The goal was to see which combination better reduces pain and disease severity while limiting…

This study looked at 65 adults with oral lichen planus, a chronic mouth condition that can cause pain and alter taste. Researchers compared two treatments: photodynamic therapy (a light-based gel treatment) and topical corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory creams). Before and after …

This study tested whether using a special light device at home, along with a standard steroid mouth rinse, could better control pain and inflammation in people with oral lichen planus affecting the gums. Thirteen adults with confirmed disease took part. The goal was to see if the…
