Title in Portuguese
Utilização de laser de baixa intensidade, infravermelho, na prevenção e tratamento da mucosite oral em pacientes pediátricos com leucemia linfoblástica aguda

Mucosite oral
Abstract in Portuguese
Este estudo randomizado, duplo-cego e controlado com placebo avaliou a eficácia do laser de baixa intensidade, infravermelho, na prevenção e tratamento da mucosite em pacientes pediátricos portadores de leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA) em uso do agente quimioterápico metotrexato em altas doses (MTX >1g/m2). Os pacientes foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: o grupo teste em que os pacientes receberam aplicação de laser profilático e o grupo controle com laser placebo. Os dois grupos receberam aplicação de laser nos dias D1, D2, D3. Realizada esta fase, os pacientes que desenvolveram mucosite oral tiveram acesso ao tratamento e aqueles que apresentaram mucosa normal foram orientados a retornar à consulta no 8º dia. Concomitante, foi solicitado exame hematológico prévio ao tratamento e no dia D8. Foi também mensurado o nível sérico do MTX 42 horas após a infusão da quimioterapia. Os resultados hematológicos prévios se mostraram satisfatórios e alguns apresentaram alterações no dia D8. No nosso estudo não foi possível comprovar se o nível sérico do MTX tem relação com toxicidade oral. A mucosite foi avaliada segundo a escala WHO e a avaliação da dor pré e pós-tratamento pelas escalas VAS, de faces e comportamental. Mucosite foi observada em 6 pacientes, 4 tratados com laser placebo e 2 tratados com laser profilático. Esta diferença não foi estatisticamente significante (P > 0.5). Os 6 pacientes desenvolveram grau 2 de mucosite oral. Média de laserterapia foi de 5.8 dias. Com relação à sintomatologia dolorosa 2 pacientes não apresentaram dor, 1 paciente apresentou dor moderada, nos outros a sintomatologia foi leve. Os resultados deste estudo demonstraram que o laser 780nm não foi eficaz na prevenção da mucosite oral mas constatamos o potencial efeito do laser terapêutico no controle da mucosite oral e da dor em pacientes pediátricos portadores LLA.

Abstract in English
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the efficacy of low intensity laser in the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia undergoing chemotherapy with highdose methotrexate (MTX>1g/m2). The patients were divided into two groups: the test group, the patients who received prophylactic low-intensity laser, and the control group who received laser without radiation (sham laser). Nor the clinician neither the patients knew which type of laser was being used until the end of the trial. The patients of each group received laser application in the days D1, D2, D3. After that, the patients who developed oral mucositis were treated with low-intensity laser and those without oral mucositis were instructed to return on day 8 for clinical reevaluation. Concomitantly, patients were screening for previous hematological examination and in the day D8. The plasma level of MTX was measured at 42 hours starting the infusion. Hematological analyses revealed no abnormality and other with alterations. In this present study, there was no correlation between the plasma level MTX and oral toxicity. Mucositis was evaluated by the WHO scale and pain was measured by VAS, face scales and behavioral. Six patients developed oral mucositis and had grade 2 by WHO scale. There was no significant difference between laser group and the control group (P > 0.5). Average time of therapeutic laser was 5.8 days. Laser applications reduced oral pain. Low-intensity laser 780 nm wavelength showed no efficient method in the prevention of oral mucositis but produced some benefits in the control of the oral mucositis and pain in pediatric patients of LLA after chemotherapy.
