Study summary

The evaluation of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) was performed by an oral medicine specialist, who relied on the clinical manifestations of the condition. The experimental group was administered 1x1cm mucosal patches containing alum stone at a concentration of 7%, whereas the control group was given placebo patches without any active medication. Size of aphthous lesions and degree of pain assessed at days 1, 3, and 5. Statistical analysis was performed with repeated measures ANOVA using R software.

Read the detailed description

The study's results indicated that the utilization of alum stone in mucosal adhesive patches yielded significant reductions in size of aphthous lesions and degree of pain.

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 May 7, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
