Efficacy of High-Level Laser Therapy in Managing Oral Mucositis Among Pediatric Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Oral Mucositis
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if high-level laser therapy can manage oral mucositis in pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic bone marrow transplantation. The main question it aims to answer is : Is high-level laser therapy effective as a treatment for oral mucositis in pediatric hemopoietic stem cell transplant patients? Researchers will compare patients receiving basic oral care to see the effect on the WHO oral mucositis scale. Participants will be subjected to high level laser on lesion sites .
