Glue may soothe Kids' mouth sores in one go
NCT ID NCT06742983
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a special medical glue (isobutyl cyanoacrylate) can heal traumatic mouth ulcers in children better than standard treatments. Thirty children were split into three groups: one got the glue applied once, another got a chlorhexidine gel twice daily, and the third got saline rinses five times a day. Researchers measured pain and ulcer size on days 1, 5, and 9 to see which approach worked best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- isobutyl cyanoacrylate high viscous solution (a medical glue)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a quick, one-time treatment for painful mouth ulcers in children, reducing the need for repeated applications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with only 30 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The glue is not a standard treatment and may not heal ulcers faster than simpler options.
