Curcumin is the active compound of the medicinal plant turmeric, which belongs to the Zingiberaceae family and originates from Asia. Various experimental studies have determined its biological and therapeutic potential, mainly attributing to it antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hypolipidemic, and antineoplastic properties. The aim of this critical review was to evaluate the effectiveness of curcumin supplementation in relation to primary outcomes (symptoms associated with chemotherapy) and secondary outcomes (potential chemopreventive and therapeutic effects). Evidence-based nutrition (NuBE) was applied. A literature search was conducted using recognized scientific databases such as Web of Science, Science Direct, and PubMed. A total of 28 clinical studies were selected, of which only 12 articles (including clinical trials and systematic reviews) that met the eligibility criteria were included. Each article was critically evaluated using the CASPE tool. Finally, a randomized clinical trial titled "Effects of nanomicelle curcumin capsules on prevention and treatment of oral mucositis in patients under chemotherapy with or without head and neck radiotherapy: a randomized clinical trial" was chosen. It was concluded that curcumin supplementation is effective in reducing symptoms associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer.
