Summary

The LLLT has an anti-inflammatory, analgesic effect and accelerates the healing of ulcerated lesions. There are little data in the literature showing its efficacy in prevention of mucositis in cohorts of patients with hematopoietic stem cells transplantation.

The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of a prophylactic low level laser therapy performed by nurses on the severity of oral mucositis during HSCT.

Conditions

  • Hematologic Malignancy

Interventions

DEVICE

Laser treatment

Patients randomized to the experimental arm receive in addition to mouthwash, preventive treatment of mucositis by LLLT performed by nurses consisting of daily scanning the entire oral cavity for 2 minutes with a power of 250 mW, starting with conditioning and ongoing until the onset of mucositis of grade 1. If the mucositis is localised, preventive laser will be kept on the healthy zones, and curative laser will be performed on painful zone. If the mucositis is general (more than 1 site), preventive laser is stopped for curative laser only.

DEVICE

Placebo

Patients randomized to the Placebo arm receive in addition to mouthwash fictive laser treatment performed by nurses until the onset of mucositis of grade 1. If the mucositis is localised, fictive laser will be kept on the healthy zones, and curative laser will be performed on painful zone. If the mucositis is general (more than 1 site), fictive laser is stopped for curative laser only.
