[{"arm_notes": "", "treatment_id": null, "treatment_name": "E02.594.540;The intervention of this study will consist of the application of a low-intensity laser protocol and Intravascular Laser Irradiation of Blood (ILIB) in 90 patients in our sample; associated with olfactory therapy. For the intervention to be carried out; all patients will undergo a gustometry test to assess the degree of dysgeusia of these patients. After confirmation of dysgeusia; through randomization; the 90 patients will be divided equally into two groups: intervention group (test group) and simulation group (control group). In the test group; 45 patients will receive laser application so that the light will be activated in 18 points on the tongue (9 points on each lateral border); in the salivary glands bilaterally (submandibular; sublingual and parotid); totaling 3J each point. This process will be done twice a week. In addition to intraoral application; it will also be applied to the carotid artery for 10 minutes; totaling an energy dose of 60J; this process being done only once a week. The application of laser therapy will last for a maximum of 2 months or until symptoms resolve. After applying the laser light with all protective measures (specific protective glasses for the use of the laser both on the operator and on the patient and also the individual protection equipment necessary for the protection of the operator; such as a cap; disposable apron and gloves that will be exchanged for each patient); the patient will be guided to olfactory therapy; 3 times a day for 2 months or until dysgeusia symptoms resolve. In the simulation group; the other 45 patients will be positioned in the dental chair; will be instructed to put on the goggles; the operator will position the laser tip at all application points; similarly done in the intervention group; but the light", "treatment_type": "TODO", "pharmacological_treatment": "TODO"}]
