PURPOSE: To explore the clinical effect of Actovegin in the treatment of acute oral mucositis in patients with radiotherapy. METHODS: One hundred and thirteen patients with acute oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma admitted to the Department of Oncology, the Fifth People's Hospital of Qinghai Province from July 2015 to September 2017 were randomly divided into the experimental group (57 cases) and control group (56 cases). Patients in the experimental group were treated with Aiweizhi, while patients in the control group were treated with new rehabilitation. The changes of VAS score, oral mucositis grade, serum CRP, IL-6, TGF-β1 and TNF-α were compared between the 2 groups. The data were analyzed with SPSS 16.0 software package. RESULTS: Before treatment, there was no significant difference in VAS score between the 2 groups (P>0.05). After 1 week and 2 weeks of treatment, the VAS scores of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). The VAS score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). After 2 weeks of treatment, oral mucositis grade of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum CRP, IL-6, TGF-β1, and TNF-α level between the 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). After 2 weeks of treatment, the level of serum CRP, IL-6, TGF-β1, and TNF-α in both groups was significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.05). The serum level of CRP, IL-6, TGF-β1 and TNF-α in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Actovegin has a clear clinical effect on acute oral mucositis in patients with radiotherapy, which can significantly alleviate the pain of patients and reduce the level of serum inflammatory factors.
