Prevention of Oral Mucositis After Using Chamomile Oral Cryotherapy Versus Oral Cryotherapy in Pediatric Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy: (A Randomized Pilot Study)

Primary outcome is measured using Children International Mucostitis Evaluation Scale (CHIMES).ChIMES1-4 each received a score of 0-5 where 5 is the worst degree of symptoms. ChIMES5 and ChIMES6 received a score of 1 or 0 if the child had received pain medications or not. Finally, ChIMES7 received a score of 1or 0 if oral ulcers were present or not. Any question that was scored as missing or 'I can't tell' was excluded from the total possible score. If all the questions were answered, the maximum score was 23. The ChIMES Total Score was the sum of all scores; 'I can't tell' responses and missing responses both received a score of 0. The ChIMES Percentage Score was the ChIMES Total Score over the total maximum score taking into account 'I can't tell' responses (by subtracting these items from the maximum score) multiplied by 100. Higher values indicate a worse outcome.

Assessed using Oral Mucositis World Health Organization Toxicity Scale.It represents grades of oral mucositis ranging from 0-4 with higher grades indicating worse outcome.
