Rice Bran Supplementation for Radiation-Induced Oral Mucositis in Head and Neck Cancer
Sponsor: Christina Milad Lobos
Summary
This study aims to find out if taking rice bran supplements can help reduce the painful mouth sores (oral mucositis) that often occur in patients with head and neck cancer who receive radiation therapy. The trial will include adult patients undergoing radiation treatment. Participants will be given rice bran supplements during their therapy to see if it can lessen these side effects and improve their overall quality of life.
