NCT07467759
This single-center, open-label, randomized clinical trial evaluates the effect of 0.15% benzydamine hydrochloride (Difflam) oral spray on the severity of radiation-induced oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer receiving high-dose radiotherapy (≥50 Gy) without concurrent chemotherapy. Oral mucositis is a common and clinically significant complication of radiotherapy that can cause pain, difficulty swallowing, nutritional impairment, and treatment interruption. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either standard oral care alone or standard oral care plus benzydamine oral spray for 6 weeks. Oral mucositis severity is assessed weekly using the World Health Organization (WHO) oral mucositis grading scale. The study aims to determine whether benzydamine reduces the progression and severity of oral mucositis in this patient population.
NCT04451590
Airway injury in patients is a high risk and complex medical crisis. Unfortunately, training for airway management in injured patients is challenging. The most effective way of practicing airway management is using mannequins. However, mannequin training is expensive and only occasionally available to medical trainees. The purpose of this study is to determine if Virtual Reality (VR) can be used to educate medical students on airway injury management. VR training will involve managing the care of a patient with an airway injury in an immersive, interactive VR hospital trauma bay. The investigators will compare the knowledge gained from VR training vs. mannequin training. The investigators will also investigate whether VR training teaches students faster than mannequin training. In addition, the investigators will identify factors which might affect learning from VR. Medical students who choose to participate will be randomized (i.e. participant will have a 50% chance to be placed in either group) to be trained with VR or a mannequin. Participants then will be trained on airway injury management using their assigned training approach. One week later, all participants will be assessed on their airway injury management skills using a mannequin. Before and after their sessions, participants will also be asked to complete a questionnaire on their clinical decision-making. Participants who received VR training will also complete a questionnaire about their experience with the VR training. This study will help develop a new approach to airway management training which is cheaper and more easily available to medical trainees than mannequin training. This educational tool could lead to better treatment of airway trauma in future patients.
