Active clinical trials for "Xerostomia"

This study assessed the efficacy of three dry mouth products (including an experimental Oralbalance gel, oral rinse, and moisturizing spray) to relieve the feeling of dry mouth compared to water, in dry mouth population over a period of 28 days.

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different wave lengths of LLLT on salivation in participants suffering from hyposalivation. This study included 30 participants whose major salivary glands were treated with low intensity diode laser BTL2000 (Medical Technologies, s.r.o., Czech Republic) during 10 consecutive days. Patients were randomly assigned in two groups, each of 15 patients, and treated with LLLT of 830 nm and LLLT of 685 nm, respectively. The whole unstimulated and stimulated saliva was measured each day during 10 days, before and after laser treatment and 10th day after treatment was ended.

Package of mentholated measures for the relief of thirst in the anesthesia recovery room: Randomized clinical trial

This trial is looking at using an intra-oral electrostimulating device for the management of radiotherapy-induced dry mouth.

To determine the duration of effect of a single dose of Biotène Moisturizing Mouth Spray in subjects who complain of a clinically dry mouth. The effect of the product will be compared to a control spray (water).

The test group consisted of eighteen subjects with hyposalivation used probiotic tablets (≥ 4/day) and gel (once a week) (streptococci, bicarbonate and carbamide) for 3 months and 9 used placebo tablets and gel. The salivary secretion rates were measured and microbial samples collected and analysed using cultivation technique twice both at baseline and at the 3-month follow up (1-2 weeks between the appointments).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the oral rinse comparing to MucoPEG™ and Biotene®. This is a randomized open-label crossover study with 42 patients receiving treatment. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the MucoPEG™ or the Biotene® Dry Mouth Gentle Oral Rinse in the first period. Patients will use the assigned oral rinse two times a day for two weeks. Patients will switch to the other treatment after a wash-out period of one week.

This cross-over group, double-blind, randomized, single center, study will enroll 26 subjects to target at least 24 subjects completing the study.Following an initial 3-5 minute evaluation of resting salivary flow, subjects will wait 10 minutes and then use their assigned spray. They will then swallow, and unstimulated saliva will be collected for 3-5 minutes. They will then remain in the study center for 60 min to evaluate xerostomia relief by questionnaire at 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min. after the use of mouth spray. They will then be given their assigned product to use twice daily for one week. Subjects will maintain a daily diary of their use of the mouth spray and any oral effects they experience, and will answer all diary questions. Compliance will be assessed by subject diary and measurement of remaining test mouth spray in bottle when unused portion is returned to the clinic. Subjects will also receive 2 questionnaires to complete during the office visit at the end of each 7-day study period. After a 1 week washout, subjects will return to the office to begin the second period of the study, using the same study procedures and be assigned the alternate treatment mouth spray.

Xerostomia affects at least a quarter of the population. This prevalence is increased in postmenopausal women and people over 65 years of age. Associated with age are systemic diseases such as Sjögren's Syndrome, diabetes, Parkinson's disease or cancer. It handicaps the patient in his social life, but also in terms of his well-being by the consequences it generates in the oral cavity. This dryness may be the consequence of taking certain medications, head and neck radiotherapy, but also being a symptom of an underlying pathology whose screening will allow early treatment and avoid complications. Today, no single therapeutic solution is enough and patients are waiting for new therapeutic innovations in this area. This study proposes to evaluate the tolerance of an adhesive film containing prebiotics by comparing it to a placebo control film.

The purpose of the clinical trial is to evaluate and validate the performance of the experimental mouth spray when used by persons with mild to severe dry mouth symptoms.
