Primary Outcome Measures

Wound size
The ulcer size was evaluated by determining the distance between two opposed boundaries of the ulcer edge, using a periodontal probe in millimeters.
Pain score
Pain assessment scale, visual analog scale (VAS) comprising of a 10-cm straight line among ends, with 0 representing no pain (better outcome) and 10 for intolerable pain (worse outcome)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Recurrent aphthous ulcer is a painful inflammatory lesion with a high prevalence. Since the etiology is not clear, several strategies have been proposed to reduce pain and severity of its symptoms. Today, curcumin is considered as an herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory properties. Treatment or control of various inflammatory diseases has been proposed, but its low solubility in water has reduced bioavailability, while the use of nanoparticle pharmaceutical techniques has been able to solve these problems. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a new topical curcumin gel with nano-technology and compare it with 2% curcumin gel in patients with recurrent aphthous ulcers. This randomized clinical trial was performed on 48 patients assigned to two groups (nano-curcumin gel) and (curcumin gel). Before treatment, the size of the wound and VAS were measured. After intervention, the two variables were measured again on the fourth and seventh days , then the amount of improvement was quantitatively and qualitatively compared in the two groups and a significant level of less than 0.05 was considered.
