RIASSUNTO

Introduzione: La stomatite da farmaci chemioterapici è un importante effetto collaterale del trattamento. I protocolli per la cura del cavo orale, si basano su due livelli di intervento: senza e con uso di medicamenti . La letteratura descrive numerosi interventi di profilassi e terapia ma ad oggi non esiste ancora un intervento considerato gold standard. Obiettivo: Valutare l'efficacia del Gelclair® nella prevenzione e trattamento di pazienti sottoposti a trapianto di cellule staminali emopoietiche. Materiale metodi: 57 pazienti (28 gruppo di controllo e 29 gruppo sperimentale ) hanno utilizzato i colluttori 3 volte al giorno, la valutazione è stata effettuata con i seguenti strumenti: scala di valutazione della stomatite (WHO), scala VAS per dolore e Likert per gradimento. I pazienti sono stati osservati mediamente per 17 giorni. Risultati: 38/57 pazienti osservati (61%) hanno manifestato stomatiti .Non è stata rilevata differenza tra i due gruppi in termine di grado di stomatite p= 0.75 in tutto il periodo di osservazione. Il dolore è stato registrato in 31 soggetti su 57 (54%). Non si sono registrate differenze tra i due gruppi per quanto riguarda il valore medio di dolore riferito prima dell'utilizzo dei colluttori per tutti i giorni di osservazione p=0,06, gli utenti del gruppo sperimentale hanno dimostrato una riduzione del grado di dolore dopo l'utilizzo del collutorio p=0,04. Conclusioni: Gelclair® non influenza i tempi di insorgenza e l'andamento della stomatite. E' in grado di ridurre il dolore, sono necessari però ulteriori studi multicentrici per confermare la reale utilití  di utilizzo nei pazienti sottoposti a Trapianto.

Abstract

Introduction: Chemotherapy-induced stomatitis is a major side effect of the treatment. Numerous approaches are described in the literature for the prevention and treatment of this complication. Objective: the aim was assess the effectiveness of Gelclair® in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation in terms of reducing the incidence of stomatitis, stomatitis-pain and the severity of stomatitis Interventions/Methods: Fifty-seven patients (28 control group and 29 experimental group) used a mouthwash 3 times a day and were evaluated by means of a specially-tailored form containing the following assessment items:stomatitis evaluation scale (WHO), VAS for pain and Likert-Scale for agreement. Results: 61% of patients presented with stomatitis. No difference was observed between the two groups with regard to stomatitis grade throughout the observation period. Painful symptoms were observed in 54% subjects. No differences were observed in terms of average pain perception before the use of mouthwashes throughout the period of observation p=0.06. Results showed a pain-relieving effect in the experimental group after using the mouthwash p=0.04. Conclusions: Although Gelclair® had no influence on the onset and severity of stomatitis in transplanted patients, a significant benefit was observed in terms of pain control. Our study suggest the possibility to implementation the use of Gelclair® in clinical practice. However, further multicenter trials are needed to provide stronger evidence on the real usefulness of this product.
