About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Diode Laser and Topical Steroid Therapy in the Treatment of Erosive Oral Lichen Planus (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)

this study evaluates the effect of diode laser in treatment of oral lichen planus.

Read the detailed description

44 patients with erosive oral lichen planus were included in the study and divided into 2 equal groups. Group I received topical steroid therapy three times daily for 4 weeks and antifungal oral gel once daily for 1 week. Group II received 980nm Diode Laser 300 mW, up to 10 sessions.

Being tested
980nm Diode Laser, 0.1% topical triamcinolone Acetonide preparation "Kenacourt-A Orabase"

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change of pain from the base line to 12 weeks follow-up

    Vas is one way to express pain into a numerical value where 0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain ever

    Measured: base line, 6weeks and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. change of clinical score of the lesion from the base line to 12 weeks follow-up

    The size of the lesion is monitored where score 0 no lesions, score 1 : mild white striation only, score 2 : white striation with erythematous area < 1 cm 2, score 3 : white striation with erythematous area > 1 cm 2, score 4 : white striation < 1 cm2, score 5 : white striation with erosive area > 1 cm2.

    Measured: base line, 6weeks and 12 weeks
