Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of mucoadhesive film with or without Acmella oleracea extract compared to standard treatment by using 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide in pain relief, promoting wound healing, healing time and satisfaction in 3 aspects included taste, product used and quality of life after using the product.

Read the detailed description

Participants who consent and meet the inclusion criteria will be allocated into 3 groups using block randomization: group 1: mucoadhesive film with Acmella oleracea extract, group 2: 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide, and group 3: mucoadhesive film without Acmella oleracea extract.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Reduction of ulcer size after using product

    Reduction of ulcer size will be evaluated by measuring the diameter of ulcers size using a periodontal probe and photograph on the first day and each follow up visit.

    Time frame: Base line, day4, day7, day10 and day 14

  2. Pain score

    The pain score will be assessed by using a visual analogue scale (VAS) which is a 10-cm line on that was labeled from \"no pain\"(0) to \"worst pain\" (10).The pain level will be recorded on the first day. The participants will then reassess their pain score again after receiving the intervention, which will be evaluated at each follow up visit.

    Time frame: Base line, day4, day7, day10 and day 14

Secondary outcomes

  1. Satisfaction score

    Participants\' satisfaction after using product will be assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) which is a 10-cm line on that was labeled from \"unsatisfied\" (0) to \"most satisfied\" (10). Satisfaction will be evaluated on the last day of follow-up.

    Time frame: Day 14

  2. Quality of life score

    Oral health impact on quality of life will be evaluated using the Thai version of the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). The survey classified into 7 dimensions with 2 items per dimension included functional limitation, painful, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and handicap. Participants must choose the answer based on the frequency of problem occurrence. The frequency level is divided into 5 level: never= 0 point, rarely = 1 point, sometimes = 2 points, often = 3 points, always = 4 points. Total scores in each person range are between 0 to 56 points.The quality of life will be survey on the first and the last day of follow-up.

    Time frame: base line and day 14

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 Oct 2, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
