Classification(1) Aphthous stomatitis is divided, on morphologic criterion, into 3 clinical presentations. It is unclear whether these presentations are manifestations of a specific disease or they represent other oral disorders characterized by recurrent ulcer. The clinical presentations of RAS include minor, major, and herpetiform aphthae. Pediatr Infect Dis J 2007;26: 728 – 732)

Guidelines for Management of Aphthous Stomatitis Goals in the management of RAS reflect that it is generally mild and self-limiting, and that, currently, there is no treatment widely believed to be curative. Treatments that reduce pain during attacks or reduce ulcer number and size, promote healing of existing ulceration, frequency of recurrent attacks with minimal adverse side effects are considered successful. Treatments used for this generally benign disease should not be associated with more morbidity that the disease itself. Pediatr Infect Dis J 2007;26: 728 – 732)

The American Academy of Oral Medicine has recommended topical treatments for RAS. Topical medications include anesthetics, antihistamines, antimicrobials, and anti- inflammatory agents. Evidence of successful use of these agents for aphthous ulcers is primarily anecdotal. Pediatr Infect Dis J 2007;26: 728 – 732)

Colchicine 於復發性口腔炎治療之機轉 Cholchicine mechanism is interference with neutrophil function and migration. Most patients with common aphthosis respond well to cholchicine by decreased number and duration of lesions, although it is not always effective in all types of recurrent aphthosis.

An open, prospective, 4-month study was conducted in 20 patients with RAS who served as their own controls. During the first 2 months of the study no medications were given and in the last 2 months colchicine, 1.5 mg/day, was prescribed.

The mean number of aphthae per week and the subjective daily pain scores were reduced by 71% and 77%, respectively, during colchicine treatment as compared with the previous period (p < for both). No serious side effects of colchicine were noted. The mean number of aphthae per week and the subjective daily pain scores were reduced by 71% and 77%, respectively, during colchicine treatment as compared with the previous period (p < for both). No serious side effects of colchicine were noted. These findings suggest a role for continuous colchicine therapy in the prevention of RAS.

Colchicine 於復發性口腔炎治療之臨床證據 (2) In an open-label study not involving placebo control, 20 patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis were assessed at baseline (no therapy) and during treatment with oral colchicine 0.5 mg three times daily, each for a period of two months (Katz et al, 1994). Patients demonstrated a notable decrease in the number of aphthous lesions and a reduction in pain while being treated with colchicine. In an open-label study not involving placebo control, 20 patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis were assessed at baseline (no therapy) and during treatment with oral colchicine 0.5 mg three times daily, each for a period of two months (Katz et al, 1994). Patients demonstrated a notable decrease in the number of aphthous lesions and a reduction in pain while being treated with colchicine. Oral colchicine in a dose of mg daily was effective in the treatment of protracted aphthous stomatitis in 4 patients (Gatot & Tovi, 1984).

Colchicine 於復發性口腔炎治療之臨床證據 (3) Systemic treatment in severe cases of recurrent aphthous stomatitis:an open trial. Clinics. 2009;64(3): Referevence: PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the systemic drugs thalidomide, dapsone, colchicine, and pentoxifylline in the treatment of severe manifestations of RAS. METHODS: An open, 4-year clinical trial was carried out for 21 consecutive patients with severe RAS. Initially, patients were given a 2-week course of prednisone to bring them to a baseline status. Simultaneously, one of the four test drugs was assigned to each patient to be taken for a period of 6 months. During the course of the trial, patients were switched to one of the other three drugs whenever side effects or a lack of satisfactory results occurred, and the 6-month limit of the treatment was then reset.

The most efficient and best-tolerated drug was thalidomide, which was administered to a total of eight patients and resulted in complete remission in seven (87.5%). Dapsone was prescribed for a total of nine patients, of whom eight (89%) showed improvement in their symptoms, while five showed complete remission. Colchicine was administered to a total of ten patients, with benefits observed in nine (90%), of whom four showed complete remission. Pentoxyfilline was administered to a total of five patients, with benefits observed in three (60%), of whom one patient showed complete remission.
