A Pilot Study of Freeze-Dried Miracle Fruit (MiraBurst) on Participants Receiving Cancer Treatment

This study is for people with a diagnosis of solid tumor cancer who are experiencing changes in taste perception due to cancer treatment. Changes in taste perception, also known as dysgeusia, is a frequent side effect of cancer treatment and can significantly impacts quality of life. These alterations may be temporary or, in some cases, permanent. The purpose of this study is determine whether freeze dried miracle fruit, marketed as MiraBurst can improve taste perception in this group of people. Participants involved in this study will be asked to take one MiraBurst mini-square upto four times a day, prior to eating, for 90 days.

Incidence of Dysgeusia in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy

The goal of this observational study is to examine how frequently changes in taste occur in people with early-stage breast cancer who receive chemotherapy. It will also look at how these taste changes affect nutrition and quality of life. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * How many participants develop changes in taste during chemotherapy? * How do these changes affect eating habits, nutrition, and daily life? Participants are women with non-metastatic breast cancer who are receiving chemotherapy before or after surgery. Researchers will use standardized taste tests to measure how well participants can perceive different flavors. These tests are designed to provide accurate and reproducible results. Participants will: * Take part in taste tests during their chemotherapy treatment * Have their nutritional status evaluated * Answer questions about their quality of life

Effects of Flavor Modification for Management of Radiation Induced Dysgeusia

Intervention for dysgeusia in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. This research proposal aims to investigate potential benefits of mBerry in improving quality of life and nutritional outcome in head and neck cancer patients' post-radiation therapy. Our hypothesis is that cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy will benefit from use of miracle berry in treatment of dysgeusia.

Hypoglossal Acupuncture for Dysgeusia in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy

This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate hypoglossal acupuncture in comparison to sham acupuncture and standard medical treatment (dietary recommendations) in the treatment of dysgeusia in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Oral and Olfactory Complications of Recovered COVID-19 Patients

This cohort study aims to investigate the long-standing chemosensory disorders and oral manifestation after recovery of the COVID-19 illness. A correlation between the long-standing symptoms and the COVID-19 severity grade will be very important to understand and clarify the aetiology of these symptoms.
