Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a reduction in the viral load of the experimental group in relation to the control, through the test of RT-PCR in salivary samples, considering that a reduction in the viral load is related to the clinical improvement of the patient | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a more accelerated clinical improvement of patients in the experimental group compared to the control group, which will be verified using the Performance Status (PS) functional capacity scale. Still, with the collection of saliva at different times after the use of mouthwash, in both groups, it is expected to find a capacity for substantivity in the experimental group | — |
