Oral mucositis is a painful condition caused by inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes in the mouth. It most commonly occurs as a side effect of chemotherapy or radiation therapy used in cancer treatment. While mucositis can develop anywhere along the digestive tract, oral mucositis specifically affects the tissues of the mouth—leading to difficulty eating, speaking, and swallowing.
At Huntsville Pain Management, we offer advanced therapeutic solutions to help manage and relieve the discomfort caused by oral mucositis. Treatments like Photon Therapy support tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery in a non-invasive, drug-free way.
According to the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC), PBM (Photobiomodulation) Therapy is now recommended for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis. Backed by multiple clinical studies, PBM has shown remarkable success in reducing the severity of symptoms and improving patient comfort during cancer care.
