About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Artificial Saliva Containing Cumin and Ginger Extract in Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis patients with xerostomia are divided into 2 groups which are group A (start with artificial saliva containing cumin and ginger extract for 2 weeks, free periods 2 weeks, then placebo for 2 weeks) and group B (start with placebo for 2 weeks, free periods 2 weeks, then artificial saliva containing cumin and ginger extract for 2 weeks). Amount of saliva (g/min), xerostomia's questionnaire, Increase of saliva score, World Health Organization Oral Mucositis Grading Scale, acid and base of saliva, quality of life's questionnaire will measure before, after using the sample for 7 and 14 days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Xerostomia symptoms using Xerostomia Inventory Score

    Patients give the score of Xerostomia Inventory questionnaire. The Xerostomia Inventory Score is graded 11 to 55 (Low score means low frequency xerostomia and high score means high frequency of xerostomia)

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Salivary flow rate

    Weigh the saliva amount from the patients in 5 mins and then calculate in g/min

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Amount of saliva score

    Patients give the score of saliva amount (0 to 10, 0 means no saliva and 10 means high amount of saliva)

    Measured: 14 days

  3. Quality of life score using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Head and Neck 35

    Patients give the score of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Head and Neck 35. The score is graded 35 to 130 (Low score means high quality of life and high score means low quality of life)

    Measured: 14 days

  4. World Health Organization Oral Mucositis

    World Health Organization Oral Mucositis is graded 0 to 4 (0 means no mucositis to 4 means severe mucositis).

    Measured: 14 days

  5. Acid and base of saliva

    Measure acid and base of saliva using acid and base standard paper

    Measured: 14 days
