A Study to Describe the Effect of Photobiomodulation (Low Level Laser Therapy) in Reducing the Severity and Incidence of Oral Mucositis (Oral Ulceration) in Oral Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiation Treatment
Sponsor: Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Australia
Summary
The goal of this study is to describe the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) on the incidence and severity of oral mucositis in post-operative oral cancer patients receiving radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy. Participants will receive PBM treatment five times a week throughout the course of their radiotherapy. The main question it aims to answer is whether photobiomodulation reduces the incidence and severity of oral mucositis.
