Summary

This study tests a painless light treatment called photobiomodulation for children aged 3 to 14 who get severe mouth sores from chemotherapy. The treatment uses a handheld red light device for about 5-10 minutes daily for four days, alongside standard care. Researchers want to see if it's practical and safe, and if it helps heal sores faster, reduce pain, and prevent chemotherapy delays.
