A Randomized, Double-Blind Pilot Study of N-acetylcysteine Mucoadherent Rinse Versus Placebo for Thickened Secretions and Mucositis Secondary to Chemoradiotherapy in the Management of Head and Neck Malignancies
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.,
Rochester, Minn.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies whether acetylcysteine oral rinse will lessen saliva thickness and painful mouth sores in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Side effects from radiation therapy to the head and neck, such as thickened saliva and mouth sores, may interfere with activities of daily living such as eating and drinking, and may also cause treatment to be stopped or delayed. Acetylcysteine rinse may reduce saliva thickness and mouth sores, and improve quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy.
