Study summary

this study evaluates the effect of diode laser in treatment of oral lichen planus.

Read the detailed description

44 patients with erosive oral lichen planus were included in the study and divided into 2 equal groups. Group I received topical steroid therapy three times daily for 4 weeks and antifungal oral gel once daily for 1 week. Group II received 980nm Diode Laser 300 mW, up to 10 sessions.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. change of pain from the base line to 12 weeks follow-up

    Vas is one way to express pain into a numerical value where 0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain ever

    Time frame: base line, 6weeks and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. change of clinical score of the lesion from the base line to 12 weeks follow-up

    The size of the lesion is monitored where score 0 no lesions, score 1 : mild white striation only, score 2 : white striation with erythematous area \< 1 cm 2, score 3 : white striation with erythematous area \> 1 cm 2, score 4 : white striation \< 1 cm2, score 5 : white striation with erosive area \> 1 cm2.

    Time frame: base line, 6weeks and 12 weeks

Other outcomes

  1. change in lipid peroxidation marker malondialdehyde from the base line to 12 weeks follow-up o 10 points VAS

    malondialdehyde is a strong marker for lipid peroxidation that can be measured in saliva to assess the effect of the treatment in oral lichen planus

    Time frame: base line, 6weeks and 12 weeks

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 19, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
