Abstract:
As a method of preventing oral mucositis, oral cryotherapy, which is low-risk, low-cost and strongly practical, has been widely used in the prevention of oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cancer. There are still significant differences in the design of cryotherapy interventions at home and abroad. This article reviews the concept and mechanism of oral cryotherapy, its development history at home and abroad, and its application and effects in cancer patients with oral mucositis, in order to provide a reference for developing the best intervention plan for localized oral cryotherapy.
