NCT00010634 ↗ Complementary Naturopathic Medicine for Periodontitis Completed National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) Phase 2 1999-09-01 This study aims to assess selected naturopathic medicines for adult periodontitis and to identify variables that influence successful outcomes when traditional and alternative approaches to preventing and treating periodontal diseases are combined. Collaboration between Kaiser Permanente, Oregon Health Science University and the National College of Naturopathic Medicine provides an unsurpassed environment for such investigations. Periodontitis is a major cause of tooth loss and negatively impacts systemic health. The limitations of traditional periodontal treatment have compelled scientists and clinicians to investigate new remedies, and naturopathic medicine holds several promising interventions. Because they are used to improve elements of host resistance that are known to be important in periodontal health and disease, three naturopathic medicines are potential adjuncts in preventing and treating periodontitis. Connective tissue components are enzymatically degraded in periodontitis. In naturopathy, Connective Tissue Nutrient Formula (CTNF) (vitamins A, C and D, glucosamine sulfate, oligoproanthocyanindins, copper, zinc, manganese, boron, silicon, magnesium, and calcium) is prescribed specifically to enhance the integrity of key connective tissue elements and improve their resistance to degradation. Periodontitis begins when permeability of the oral sulcular epithelium permits pathogenic bacterial components to invade deeper periodontal connective tissues. In naturopathy, glutamine is prescribed to reduce oral-intestinal epithelial membrane permeability. Chronic activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis during the stress response, is a risk factor for periodontitis. Adaptogenic herbs (AH) (Panax ginseng, Withania somnifera and Eleutherococcus senticosus) are prescribed by naturopathic physicians to reverse the impact of bacterial and psychosocial stressors. Because glutamine, CTNF and AH target pathophysiologic mechanisms known to underline periodontitis, they are compelling candidates in clinical and mechanistic investigations of complementary medicine approaches to the management of periodontitis. Kaiser Permanente adult periodontitis patients will serve as subjects and receive standard periodontal treatment. Three of the four randomly assigned groups will also receive supplements of glutamine, CTNF, or AH. We will determine the effects of these supplements on clinical outcomes (attachment loss, pocket depths, indicators of inflammation, plaque composition, need for periodontal surgery, acute periodontal problems, tooth loss). In addition to completing the battery of self-report measures (stress, coping, quality of life), study subjects will provide samples of blood, saliva, gingival cervicular fluid and bacterial dental plaque. These samples will be examined as part of the Laboratory Core to identify biologic and genetic characteristics that correlate with successful outcomes. Storage of portions of the samples will allow future examination of additional variables as part of the Developmental Projects carried out as the Craniofacial Complementary & Alternative Center is established and Phase III trials are undertaken.
NCT03824925 ↗ Efficacy of Zinc on Concurrent Chemo-radiotherapy Induced Taste Alterations Completed Dow University of Health Sciences Phase 3 2016-12-01 Taste changes are common in cancer patients receiving concurrent chemoradiation which become a significant complaint and a cause of distress and morbidity. Loss of gustatory function further advances to malnutrition, weight loss, reduced quality of life, poor compliance and even diminished response to drug therapy. Taste is an essential sensation which serves oral intake of food and enables to prevent the ingestion of potentially harmful and poisonous substances. The sense of taste is crucial for an individual's well-being and psychological health. Taste changes may advance to reduced appetite, dietary insufficiency, food repulsion affecting body weight and anorexia further leading to impaired immunity, decline in health status and malnutrition. As taste impairment is not a life-threatening event therefore it might not be reported by some patients. Hence, this aspect is neglected despite being a common and distressing side-effect of chemoradiation. Due to the location of the cancer and the long-term effects of cancer therapies, patients with oral cavity cancers have a specially high prevalence of chemosensory disorders. Zinc is comparatively non-toxic if taken orally, and rather non-toxic in contrast to other trace metals such as manganese and iron. Zinc is an integral element in both the maintenance and repair of taste buds. It is involved in promoting the diffusion of taste stimuli to taste buds. Salivary zinc has been found in association with Gustin (carbonic anhydrase, CA VI), a zinc-metalloprotein enzyme that may be involved with providing nutrition to the human taste buds. Zinc influences the synthesis of gustin required for the growth, development, maintenance and production of taste buds and regulation of taste function. The hypothesis was: Null hypotheses: There is no difference in the taste acuity between test and control group with the administration of zinc sulfate. Alternative hypotheses: There is a difference in the taste acuity between test and control group with the administration of zinc sulfate. Thus, the present study aimed to observe changes in taste function of oral cancer patients by detection and recognition thresholds before beginning their treatment (before chemoradiation and intervention), at the end of chemoradiation and a month after and to evaluate the preventive effect of zinc sulfate on chemoradiation-induced taste changes. To the best of our knowledge, similar study has not been conducted before in our region.
