- - The study evaluates the effectiveness of NS oil mouth rinse in reducing oral mucositis (OM) caused by chemotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), comparing it to a control group using a "magic mouthwash."
- - Results showed that NS oil rinse reduced the severity and incidence of OM, with lower scores in erythema, ulceration, and pain, allowing participants to eat normally during treatment.
- - Additionally, the NS oil rinse significantly lowered levels of the inflammatory marker interleukin-6 in saliva, while changes in another marker, TNF-, were not significant.
