Wanneer kankerpatiënten die een behandeling met chemo krijgen daarnaast drie keer daags een siroop met honing met koffie extract nemen voorkomen en verminderen zij dat ze last krijgen van mucositis, aantasting van de slijmvliezen in mond en keel. Dit blijkt uit een dubbelblinde gerandomiseerde studie die bestond uit drie groepen patiënten ( N = 75) die of een siroop kregen te drinken 3x daags van alleen honing, of honing plus koffie of een steroïd. Alle drie de siropen gaven een vermindering van de mucositis te zien maar bij honing plus koffie bleek de siroop het beste te werken. Nog beter dan alleen met honing. De onderzoekers kunnen niet helemaal verklaren waarom met koffie de honing het beste werkt maar zij denken dat de twee ingrediënten elkaar versterken in bescherming en reparatie van de schade die de chemo vaak aanricht (bij ca. 40% van de mensen ontstaat een vorm van mucositis als zij chemo krijgen).

Abstract

Background

Oral mucositis is one of the common complications of cancer chemotherapy and about 40% of the patients who take chemotherapy protocols, experience this irritating problem. The purpose of this study was to draw comparison between the therapeutic effects of our treatment modalities (topical steroid, honey, honey plus coffee) in patients suffering from oral mucositis.

Methods

This was a double blinded randomised clinical trial of a total of 75 eligible adult participants which they randomly fell into three treatment groups. For all the participants a syrup-like solution was prepared. Each 600 grams of the product consisted of “20 eight-mg Betamethasone solution ampoules” in the Steroid (S) group, “300 grams of honey plus 20 grams of instant coffee” in the Honey plus Coffee (HC) group, and “300 grams of honey” for the Honey (H) group. The participants were told to sip 10 ml of the prescribed product, and then swallow it every three hours for one week. Severity of lesions was clinically evaluated before the treatment and also one week after the initiation of the intervention. This study adhered to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and guidelines of Good Clinical Practice.

Results

This study showed that all three treatment regimens reduce the severity of lesions. The best reduction in severity was achieved in HC group. H group and S group took the second and third places. In other words, honey plus coffee regimen was the most effective modality for the treatment of oral mucositis.

Conclusion

Oral mucositis can be successfully treated by a combination of honey and coffee as an alternative medicine in a short time. Further investigations are warranted in this field.
