구강궤양에 멀티비타민을 복용하면 낫지 않을까?

재발성 구강 궤양의 발생 기간과 빈도를 줄이지 못하였으므로 의사는 일상적으로 구강궤양 예방을 위해 멀티비타민을 권고해서는 안됩니다.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis : RAS

​

The role of multivitamin supplementation in patients without a documented deficiency remains uncertain. In one randomized trial, the efficacy of multivitamin supplementation or placebo for one year was evaluated in 160 patients with at least three episodes of idiopathic minor RAS within the previous 12 months. This study did not find any significant difference in the mean number of new RAS episodes, duration of episodes, and mouth pain between patients in the multivitamin arm and those in the placebo arm during the study period.

Clinicians should not recommend multi-vitamin supplementation routinely as prophylaxis for RAS.
