About this study

Official title: Effect of Using Supragingival Irrigators Containing Chlorhexidine on Oral Health in Patients With Blood Dyscrasia

in this study , effectiveness of supragingival irrigators containing chlorhexidine is compared with routine oral health measures in patients with blood dyscrasia whom can not use effective oral health measures(e.g brushing ) due to their systemic condition(e,g,neutropenia ,thrombocytopenia,..)

Read the detailed description

Since some patients with hematologic malignancies cannot brush effectively and are at increased risk of bleeding and infection due to severe neutropenia and thrombocytopenia we want to access whether a none invasive method ( water jet systems containing chlorhexidine ) Can help this patients to get better oral health indexes in comparison with routine oral health measures in these type of patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing supragingival irrigators containing chlorhexidine in people with Severe Neutropenia and Thrombocytopenia, run by Mashhad University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

improvement in oral health status (time frame: 3 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Nov 2013.
