Efficacy of Oral HA35 for Rapid Relief of Oral Pain and Pungent Sensation

This prospective, open-label, controlled pilot study evaluates oral 10% 35 kDa hyaluronan (HA35) versus four control interventions (C60 grapeseed oil，normal saline) for relief of capsaicin/AITC-induced oral pain and pungent sensation. Healthy participants receive standardized pain induction followed by single oral intervention. Pain/pungency assessed at 30 sec/60 sec/120 sec. Safety monitored throughout. Minimal-risk, non-invasive oral study.

Music Therapy for Oral Mucositis Pain in Pediatric Patients

This mixed-methods pilot study will examine the effect of music therapy on oral mucositis pain in pediatric oncology patients. Oral mucositis, characterized by painful ulcerative lesions in the mouth, is a common side effect of high-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell or bone marrow transplantation. Despite its high prevalence and impact on quality of life, effective pain management strategies for pediatric oral mucositis remain limited and often rely heavily on medications that may cause significant side effects or provide insufficient relief. Music therapy may offer a promising non-pharmacologic adjunct for reducing pain, yet no studies to date have specifically evaluated its use for oral mucositis pain in pediatric patients.
