The Efficacy of Topical Sesame Oil Versus Topical Triamcinolone on Oral Lichen Planus and Salivary Level of Oxidative Stress Biomarker [MDA]

Early Phase 1
Conditions
Oral Lichen Planus
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03738176
Lead Sponsor
Mona Taha Mohammed MD
Brief Summary

use seseme oil and corticosteroid topically for two groups

Detailed Description

* The enrolled patients will be divided randomly into two groups.

* Test group will receive topical sesame oil (3 times /day after eating) for a month.

* Control group will receive topical corticosteroid (3 times /day after eating) for a month.

* Assessment of the appearance score and severity of pain as well as the clinical parameter outcome will be done at baseline and at the end of two and four weeks and will be recorded in the patients' questionnaires \& by clinical sign score . MDA will be measured at the baseline \& at the end of four weeks after treatment.
