Weak EvidenceEvidence Summary
Topical aloe vera juice shows evidence for wound healing acceleration and pain reduction in chronic anal fissures (PMID: 24763890) and outperformed silver sulfadiazine in wound shrinkage in a veterinary RCT (PMID: 29131970). A network meta-analysis ranked aloe vera juice mouthwash as the top intervention for preventing oral mucositis in chemoradiotherapy patients among 13 mouthwashes studied, though the authors note this needs further verification by larger RCTs (PMID: 40611101). Aloe vera components have demonstrated skin permeation enhancement potential for certain drug molecules in vitro, suggesting a possible carrier or enhancer role in topical formulations (PMID: 17088033).
