pilocarpine and Stomatitis

pilocarpine has been researched along with Stomatitis in 11 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Stomatitis: INFLAMMATION of the soft tissues of the MOUTH, such as MUCOSA; PALATE; GINGIVA; and LIP.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Pilocarpine has been approved for post-radiation xerostomia, and the effect of its use during radiation therapy on salivary flow, xerostomia, mucositis, and quality of life (QOL) was assessed in a phase III study conducted by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG 97-09)."2.72Effect of pilocarpine during radiation therapy: results of RTOG 97-09, a phase III randomized study in head and neck cancer patients. ( Brachman, D; Foote, R; Hodson, DI; Lee, N; LeVeque, F; Meredith, R; Scarantino, C; Schulsinger, A; Swann, RS; White, R, 2006)
"Pilocarpine hydrochloride has been reported to increase salivation and decrease oral mucositis in patients receiving head and neck radiotherapy, but there is only one report of its use in a cancer chemotherapy patient population."2.71Randomized controlled trial of pilocarpine hydrochloride for the moderation of oral mucositis during autologous blood stem cell transplantation. ( Brennan, MT; Fox, PC; Frenette, G; Kent, ML; Lockhart, PB; Norton, HJ; Packman, CH, 2005)
"Numerous regimens treat symptoms of xerostomia and associated caries and mucositis."2.40Manifestations and treatment of xerostomia and associated oral effects secondary to head and neck radiation therapy. ( Garg, AK; Malo, M, 1997)
