Sponsor's own description
There is currently little robust evidence to inform the management of hyposalivation and xerostomia in this population. Although the treatment of xerostomia is very individual, a first-line medication is needed to ameliorate the dehydration in the mouth by substituting for the secretion of saliva. The aim of this study is to describe the effect of the administration of Hydral on reducing patients' xerostomia symptoms due to radiotherapy. The study will be conducted as a double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) and foresees a crossover design, so the population will be divided into two groups, receiving both the medical device and the placebo.
