Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 years and older
  • Individuals with oral dysesthesia (worst VAS sensitivity/burning score ≥ 7 over the last week)
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written document

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inability to comply with study instructions
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements*
  • Presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the participant or the quality of the data.
  • Advanced kidney disease
  • Patients receiving antineoplastic therapy [e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), radiation] that could increase the risk of oral dysesthesia
  • Known altered mental status, encephalopathy, or cognition impairment
  • Ataxia
  • Known alcohol use disorder
  • Concomitant opioid therapy
  • Diagnosis of oral cancer currently undergoing therapy
  • Already using topical therapy for mouth pain (e.g., lidocaine, Magic mouthwash)*
  • Any opioid pain medication*
  • Treatment with another drug or other intervention within 2 weeks. Patients will be recommended to stop previous medication for 2 weeks before starting the study treatment.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score

    Pain will be assessed using the VAS with a score of 0 being no pain and 10 being worst possible pain. Pre- to post-treatment change in VAS pain score will be compared.

    Time frame: 28 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) total score

    The OHIP-14 is a 14-item questionnaire measuring how oral conditions affect quality of life, focusing on discomfort, disability, and dysfunction. It uses a 5-point Likert scale (0=Never to 4=Very Often) across seven domains: functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical/psychological/social disability, and handicap. The total score can range from 0 to 56, with lower scores representing better outcomes and higher scores representing worse outcomes. The pre-to-post treatment change for each item and for all items combined will be assessed.

    Time frame: 28 days

  2. Change in Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) score (dichotomized)

    The OHIP-14 is a 14-item questionnaire measuring how oral conditions affect quality of life, focusing on discomfort, disability, and dysfunction. It uses a 5-point Likert scale (0=Never to 4=Very Often) across seven domains: functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical/psychological/social disability, and handicap. Each question will be dichotomized and classified as 'treatment response' if the answer is 'not at all', or 'slightly' to a question such as "how isolated do you feel as a result of this oral condition", and pre-to-post treatment improvement will be assessed.

    Time frame: 28 days

  3. Incidence of adverse events by severity and relatedness

    Adverse events will be assessed at the end of treatment using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (CTCAE v5). Adverse event severity will be graded on the scale of 1 (mild) to 5 (death). Relatedness to the study treatment will be determined (unrelated or unlikely to be related vs. possibly, probably, or definitely related). The number of adverse events will be tabulated by grade and relatedness (e.g., number of Grade 1 related events, number of Grade 1 unrelated events, etc.).

    Time frame: 28 days
