Check how well a thermometer scale measures dental pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.

This study explores how dental students and child-focused dental professionals understand and handle pain in pediatric dentistry. Your experience and perceptions will help researchers describe common challenges and what support works best.
This study tests whether playing a dental-themed game on a mobile device can help children aged 4 to 7 feel less pain and anxiety during a pulpotomy (a procedure to treat deep cavities in baby teeth). It aims to make the dental visit easier for kids who are cooperative but may be nervous.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during dental procedures can help reduce pain and anxiety in children aged 6 to 12. If your child is having a routine dental procedure, they may be able to use a VR headset to distract them and make the experience more comfortable.
This study compares the pain a child feels during a numbing injection at the dentist to the pain the parent thinks the child is feeling. It helps doctors understand the difference between a child's actual pain and what parents perceive, which may improve how pain is managed during dental visits.
This study looks at how people with long-term jaw pain feel dental testing foils on their teeth compared to people without jaw pain. It may help understand jaw pain better.
This trial tests whether a vibrating tool or a cold pack can help reduce pain when children get a numbing shot at the dentist. If your child needs a simple filling and is generally healthy, this study might help make their experience more comfortable.
