Prevention of Oral Mucositis in Adults in With Hematologic Malignancy
3. september 2026 oppdatert av: Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Impact of Aloe Vera Mouthwash on the Prevention and Severity of Oral Mucositis in Adults in With Hematologic Malignancies
The goal of this quasiexperimental cohort controlled intervention study is to learn if aloe vera mouthwash works better than usual care in the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis.
Researchers will compare aloe vera to usual care.
Participants in the intervention group will rinse their mouths with aloe vera 4 x/day for 28 days of their treatment.
They will also complete questionnaires about oral health and mucositis.

Detaljert beskrivelse
Oral mucositis (OM) is a common and debilitating complication of chemotherapy and radiotherapy among adults with acute leukemia, leading to pain, infection risk, treatment delays, and reduced quality of life.
This multi-site, cohort controlled quasi-experimental study will evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led aloe vera mouthwash intervention compared with usual oral care in preventing and reducing the incidence and severity of OM among hospitalized oncology patients.
Primary outcomes include OM incidence and severity measured by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), with secondary outcomes of pain, quality of life, and overall health assessed weekly using the Oral Mucositis Weekly Questionnaire (OMWQ).

Deltakergruppe / Arm |
Intervensjon / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Aktiv komparator: Phase 1 Usual Care
Participants in the usual care phase will receive standard of care
|
Toothbrushing with a soft or ultra-soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste a minimum of twice a day, oral rinsing with water or 0.9% sodium chloride four times daily, and denture care as applicable.
|
|
Eksperimentell: Phase 2 Intervention
Participants in the intervention phase will receive aloe vera
|
In addition to standard of care, phase 2 participants will receive the aloe vera mouthwash available for order through supply chain services.
Health system pharmacy has approved this as a nonmedication and safe for administration with this patient population and other medications.
Each participant will have their own bottle and be instructed to swish and spit 15ml (0.5 ounces) of mouthwash following usual oral care prior to meals and at bedtime (four times per day).
Nursing staff assess the participants' oral cavity at least twice a day for mucosal integrity, pain, bleeding, or ulceration.
While participants are inpatient, the routine oral assessments and administration of the aloe vera will be tracked via documentation in the electronic health record.
If participants are discharged prior to 28 days, oral assessments and aloe vera use will be tracked via self-report by participants on the weekly questionnaire.

Oral Mucositis Weekly Questionnaire Score
Tidsramme: Baseline and every 7 days for 28 days
|
The Oral Mucositis Weekly Questionnaire is a patient-reported outcome instrument developed to measure oral mucositis impact on patients' daily life.
The questionnaire includes 12 items that are individually assessed including: Global health and Quality of life with 2 items rated on 1-7 scale (higher score better); Mouth and throat soreness when present is measured with 7 items on 0-4 scale and 1 overall measure on 0-10 scale; mouth pain and throat pain are also each measured using 0-10 scale (lower scores better)
