What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. oral ulcer healing

    The primary outcome is ulcer healing, oral ulcer area can be divided into 3 degrees: 1 degrees for a single ulcer, area ≤ 8mm; 2 degree for a single ulcer, 8mm ≤ area ≤ 15mm, or two ulcers, area of every ulcer ≤ 8mm; 3 degree for a single ulcer, area ≥ 15 mm, or 2 ulcers, every area between 8 to 15mm. Recovery refers oral ulcer is healing completely. The effective is the ulcer area decrease more than 1 degree. Invalid means the ulcer area is no change.

    Time frame: the 7 Days of treatment.

  2. oral ulcer recurrence

    to observe the recurrence rate of ulcer

    Time frame: the 28 Days after the end of treatment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. symptoms effective rates

    Symptom effective rate =(total score before treatment - total score after treatment)/total score before treatment x 100%. Total score = frequency + severity. Frequency score is calculated by all the frequency of oral pain, anorexia,and eating difficult. Severity is accumulated by the degree of symptoms described above,which is divided to 4 degree as 0 presenting none,and 3 presenting most severe.

    Time frame: At the 7 Days of the treatment, and the 28 Days after the end of treatment.

  2. adverse events

    Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability. The common side effects of the study include headache, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and skin rash.

    Time frame: From 1st Day to 7th Days of the treatment and the 28 Days after the end of treatment.
