      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Other design features: This will be done for the first time in Iran, Randomization description: After random selection, each group will be identified based on the randomized table. In order to receive one of the interventions, they are randomly divided into permutational blocks.
The radiotherapist is responsible for recording the degree of mucositis and the participants will not be informed of any grouping. Also, students who are responsible for completing the questionnaires are also unaware of the type of treatment interventions  The physician who is aware  of the study and the type of medication will be told the method of selecting and assigning samples based on a randomized table of numbers and each group will be followed up through random selection, Blinding description: This study was a cohort, double-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial And will be performed on 75 patients who will be randomly assigned to three 25-patient groups of control or intervention.
After completing the preparation of the products, the first performer places mouthwashes in 120-cc glasses for one week use of the patients and identifies them with codes A, B or C. The radiotherapists who are responsible for recording the degree of mucositis and the patient will not be aware of any groupings done. Also, the student responsible for completing the questionnaire is also unaware of the type of medical interventions 
Given the double-blindness of the study, the treatments will be covered in form A, B, C. The doctor who is aware  of the study and the type of medication, will be told the method of selecting and assigning samples based on a randomized table of numbers and each group will be followed up through random selection.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: 1% zinc sulfate, surfactant, and various suppositories (methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, xanthan gum) will be used to prepare the mouthwash. The first presenter will put the mouthwash in the 120 cc glasses for one week consumption of the patient and they use the mouthwash 3 times a day, 5 cc each time for 6 weeks. Intervention 2: Control group: All components of the intervention group except zinc will be used to prepare the  placebo mouthwash. The first presenter will put the mouthwash in the 120 cc glasses for one week consumption of the patient and they use the mouthwash 3 times a day, 5 cc each time for 6 weeks. Intervention 3: Control group: Prefabricated Chlorhexidine mouthwash( Vi-one 0/2% CHX) will put in the 120 cc glasses for one week consumption of the patient and they use the mouthwash 3 times a day, 5 cc each time for 6 weeks.</i_freetext>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Creating mucositis based on clinical manifestations (Clinical presentation), severity of mucositis based on the WHO benchmark. Timepoint: In the beginning of the study (before the onset of intervention), 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 weeks after commencing oral intake of zinc sulfate. Method of measurement: To test mucositis, the WHO classification system is divided into five degrees          Grade 0 : None       Grade 1 :Soreness + / -  Erythema                     Grade 2 : Erythema , ulcer , patients    can swallow solid diet                  Grade 3 : Ulcer , Extensive erythema , patients can not swallow solid diet   Grade 4 : Mucositis to the extent that alimentation is not possible.</prim_outcome>

      <sec_outcome>Patients' quality of life and complications. Timepoint: at the beginning of the study (before the onset of intervention), 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 weeks after commencing oral intake of zinc sulfate. Method of measurement: Quality of life will also be measured using a questionnaire used in previous studies, which measures 0 to 4:Grade 0 (Complications have no effect on daily activities), Grade 1 (Symptoms cause discomfort at least once a week)Grade 2 (symptoms interact with your daily activities more than once a week), Grade 3 (symptoms also interfere with basic activities of life)Grade 4 (symptoms are such that the patient is afraid to leave the home, leading a sharp reduction in the individual's social activities.</sec_outcome>
