Although numerous interventions have been investigated, their impact on QoL remains inconsistently reported and poorly synthesized.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An umbrella review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines. Five databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) were searched from inception to March 2024. Reviews were eligible if they evaluated any therapeutic intervention for OM and reported QoL\u2010related outcomes using validated tools. Methodological quality was appraised using AMSTAR 2, and findings were narratively synthesized and thematically categorized. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251044088).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight systematic reviews (257 primary studies) met the inclusion criteria. Photobiomodulation, honey, black mulberry, and botanical agents such as SAMITAL showed consistent improvement in QoL domains, including pain relief, oral function, and emotional well\u2010being. Gabapentin demonstrated potential in reducing opioid use and early mucositis\u2010related pain, though findings were mixed across trials. QoL was most commonly assessed using the EORTC QLQ\u2010C30, FACT\u2010HN, and UW\u2010QOL. Overall, heterogeneity in intervention protocols and QoL instruments limited comparability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review highlights the most promising interventions for improving QoL in patients with OM.
