Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effect of chlorhexidine mouthwash and combined mouthwash (4 drugs) in the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis in neutropenic patients.
Design
A clinical trial with 2 intervention groups, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 was conducted on 60 patients with acute lymphoid leukemia. The randomization of the the two intervention groups is done based on quadruple blocks in Excel software.
Settings and conduct
The present study is conducted on children with acute lymphoid leukemia hospitalized in the oncology department of Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria are randomly divided into two groups. Then the mouthwashes are given to the target patients in separate containers that have the same shape and each one is coded by a pediatric oncology nurse who does not know the type of mouthwash (she does not know the type of mouthwash).

Also, the liquids in the mouthwash containers are of the same color as agreed with the pharmacist consultant and are used by the patients.
