The Effect Of Enamel Matrix Derivatives On Gingival Tissue Thickness

Scientists do research to answer important questions which might help change or improve the way we do things in the future. The investigators know that using Enamel Matrix Derivatives results in thicker gum tissues around teeth. This study will test to see if using EMD around implants results in thicker gum tissues around implants.

Effects of Enamel Matrix Derivative in the Treatment of Peri-implant Mucositis

To evaluate the naturally occurring peri-implant mucositis (PM) treatment by means of non-surgical sub-marginal peri-implant instrumentation (NSPI) with or without use of enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD). Specifically, the primary outcome of the present study compared the efficacy of NSPI +EMD with respect to NSPI and placebo in the treatment of PM at 6 months follow-up by means of BOP reduction. The secondary outcome evaluated the influence of possible predictors on the BOP changes among all follow-up sessions.

Folic Acid Supplement Versus Placebo for Treating Mucositis Adverse Events in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients Receiving Targeted Therapy

FASTERCC: Folic acid supplement versus placebo for treating mucositis adverse events in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients receiving targeted therapy. A randomized, double-blind trial from the Danish renal cancer group (DARENCA study-4)

Treatment of Radiation and Cisplatin Induced Toxicities with Tempol

A 10 week trial to assess the ability of Tempol to prevent and/or reduce toxicities associated with cisplatin and radiation treatment in head and neck cancer patients. Over the course of the 10 week trial, mucositis, nephrotoxicity, and ototoxicity will be monitored and assessed.

Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Supernatant on Prevention and Treatment of Skin/Mucosal Injury in Hematology Patients

This clinical trial is studying the effects of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) culture supernatant on the prevention and treatment of mucosal injuries in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). HSCT is a common treatment for blood-related cancers and other serious blood disorders. However, many patients experience severe damage to their mucous membranes, including the lining of the mouth, skin, and bladder, due to the high-dose chemotherapy used in the treatment process. These mucosal injuries can cause pain, increase the risk of infection, and lower the patient's quality of life. The purpose of this study is to determine whether MSC culture supernatant can help repair mucosal injuries and improve recovery for these patients. MSC culture supernatant contains substances produced by mesenchymal stem cells that may promote healing and reduce inflammation. These substances could potentially repair tissue without the risks associated with using live cells. Participants in this trial will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive standard care, and the other will receive MSC culture supernatant as part of their treatment. The study will look at how well MSC supernatant helps heal mucosal injuries, as well as its safety and any side effects that may occur. The outcomes of this study could lead to new ways to prevent and treat mucosal injuries in patients undergoing HSCT, improving their quality of life during and after treatment. The trial will include 120 patients who have undergone HSCT and experienced mucosal injuries. The study will last approximately five years, from October 2020 to September 2025. Participants will be monitored throughout the trial for safety and effectiveness of the treatment, with follow-up visits scheduled to assess their progress.

Assessing Manual Acupuncture's Impact on Mucositis From Nasopharynx Cancer Radiotherapy: A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Quality of Life Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if acupuncture can play a role in reducing pain and improving the quality of life of post-radiotherapy nasopharyngeal cancer mucositis patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: \- Do manual acupuncture and medication therapy affect pain intensity as measured by the visual analogue scale (VAS) in patients with oral mucositis compared with sham manual acupuncture and medication? Participants will receive acupuncture therapy 2 times a week for 3 weeks
