Six thesis studies conducted between 2003 and 2023, with the keywords chemotherapy, radiotherapy, stem cell transplantation, and oral mucositis in their titles, accessible in full text, and employing a randomized controlled study design, were selected for review. Results: It was determined that the sample size of the six included theses was 412 individuals. Seven different measurement tools for assessing OM were identified in the theses. The WHO Oral Toxicity Scale and Oral Assessment Guide measurement tools were used in 50 of the theses. Black mulberry syrup 50.0 and sodium bicarbonate 33.3 were frequently used among the products and methods for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis in the theses. According to the results of the theses, it can be said that the mentioned products reduce the frequency and severity of oral mucositis and positively impact patients quality of life.

Tezlerin 50sinde DSÖ Oral Toksisite Ölçeği ve Ağız Değerlendirme Rehberi ölçme araçları kullanılmıştır. Tezlerde oral mukozitin önlenmesi ve tedavisinde kullanılan ürünler ve yöntemler arasında sıklıkla karadut şurubu 50,0 ve sodyum bikarbonat 33,3 kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Tezlerin sonuçlarına göre, yukarıda sayılan ürünlerin oral mukozitin görülme sıklığını ve şiddetini azalttığı ve hastaların yaşam kalitesini olumlu yönde etkilediği gibi farklı sonuçların yer aldığı söylenebilir.
