Official Title: Effect of Arginine- and Glutamine-based Oral Formulations on Salivary Biomarkers and Clinical Severity of Radiation-induced Oral Mucositis in Head and Neck Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary:
This triple-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of L-arginine and L-glutamine oral suspensions in managing radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) undergoing radiotherapy.A total of 69 patients are randomly assigned to three groups: L-arginine + maltodextrin, glutamine + maltodextrin, or maltodextrin alone (control).The interventions are administered as a swish-and-swallow solution three times daily from the second to seventh week…
