Abstract | OBJECTIVES: MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-six patients presenting with oral GVHD were randomly divided into two groups of 13 using block randomization. The control group used triamcinolone in Orabase, and the case group received curcumin in Orabase. RESULTS: The two groups were not significantly different in terms of the alleviated severity of the lesions at the end of the treatment (P=0.052). The comparison of the pain score via the visual analog scale (VAS) at the onset of the treatment and at days 14 and 28 (completion of the treatment) showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:
Curcumin has comparable efficacy to that of triamcinolone and may be prescribed for the patients presenting with oral GVHD.
