Oral Lichen Planus Treatment

November 8, 2021 updated by: Pia Lopez Jornet, Universidad de Murcia

Oral Lichen Planus Photodynamic Treatment

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory and immune-mediated disease affecting the oral mucosa. OLP presents with asymptomatic, lacelike white stripes and/or symptomatic red, ulcerated mucous membranes. Eating, drinking and oral hygiene procedures may be painful resulting in reduced quality of life (QOL). Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new suggestion for OLP treatment PDT is a successful treatment mo- dality for premalignant and malignant diseases of head and neck,gastrointestinal tract, lung, and skin

In this study, the effect of photodynamic therapy with topical corticosteroid in oral lichen planus patients was compared

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In this study, the efficacy of toluidine blue-mediated photodynamic therapy and topical triamcinolone acetonide 0.2% on decreasing pain and size of OLP lesions was compared.

This randomized, clinical trial compared the therapeutic effect of photodynamic therapy on symptomatic OLP (atrophic/ erosive/ulcerative forms) with triamcinolone acetonide 0.2%. The protocol of the clinical trial, which was conducted according to the ethical principles of Helsinki Group I toluidine blue-mediated photodynamic therapy Group II photodynamic therapy GroupIII laser sham + triamcinolone acetonide 0.2%

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: toluidine blue-mediated photodynamic therapy
The number of points will be variable according to the lesion size. Patients will be treated with localized PBM with a diode laser with continuous wave +toluidine blue
Toluidine blue was applied on the lesions.The tissue were irradiated with a 660-nm diode laser InGaAlP
Active Comparator: photodynamic therapy + gel
The number of points will be variable according to the lesion size.atients will be treated with localized PBM with a diode laser with continuous wave
Toluidine blue was applied on the lesions.The tissue were irradiated with a 660-nm diode laser InGaAlP
Sham Comparator: acetonide triamcinolone 0.2%+sham
Patients will be treated with acetonide triamcinolone 0.2% for 30 consecutive days. Laser device will be positioned over the lesion but will be switched off to mask the treatment. Patients will be instructed to apply the gel in the entire lesion three times/days.The number of points will be variable according to the lesion size.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change Assessment of Pain of OLP
Time Frame: Participants will be evaluated at baseline (Day 0) ; day 7: day 14 day and 28 day
The pain will be assessed by applying a Visual Analog Scale, consisting of a 100-mm line numbered in centimeters, with two closed ends. One end is labeled "0" and the other "100", meaning no pain and terrible pain, respectively. Each patient will be instructed to mark a vertical line according to the best value that matches the intensity of pain during the evaluation.
Participants will be evaluated at baseline (Day 0) ; day 7: day 14 day and 28 day
Change Thongprasom sign scoring
Time Frame: Participants will be evaluated at baseline (Day 0) ; day 7: day 14 day and 28 day
a score of 0 for normal healthy mucosa, 1 for lesions with only white striae, 2 for mixed keratotic and atrophic or erythematous lesions < 1 cm2 in size, 3 for keratotic and atrophic or erythematous lesions more than 1 cm2 in size, 4 for erosive/ulcerative lesions smaller than 1 cm2 , and 5 for erosive/ulcerative lesions larger than 1 cm2
Participants will be evaluated at baseline (Day 0) ; day 7: day 14 day and 28 day
