Oral mucositis is a complication of head and neck radiotherapy. It is understood what causes the inflammation and what biological tissue changes occur, however, a definite cure for oral mucositis has not yet been found. Supportive treatments, analgesics, antimicrobials and anti-inflammatory agents have been prescribed, none of which has been a thorough measure of treatment. An effective cure for oral mucositis is still in the midst of scientific research. In the interim local palliative treatments will help to alleviate the patients', debilitating symptoms.
口腔黏膜炎是头颈部放疗的一种并发症。虽然炎症的成因以及发生了哪些生物组织变化已为人所知，然而，尚未找到针对口腔黏膜炎的确切治愈方法。已开出支持性治疗、镇痛药、抗菌药和抗炎药的处方，但这些都不是彻底的治疗措施。针对口腔黏膜炎的有效治愈方法仍在科研过程中。在此期间，局部姑息治疗将有助于缓解患者的虚弱症状。
