Nerve-block shot for emergency dental pain relief
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a dental nerve-block shot can safely help reduce pain for adults who come to the emergency department with tooth pain. If the ED clinician plans to use the block, you may be asked to rate your pain during the visit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and came to the emergency department for dental (tooth) pain
- An ED clinician plans to perform a dental nerve block as part of your care
- You have not had a dental nerve block in the last 24 hours
- You are willing to receive the dental block and agree to be in the study
- You can complete a pain rating (VAS score) and understand the study in English or Spanish
- Your tooth pain can be assessed and treated as one clear dental source (not multiple mouth areas needing more than one block)

This study tracks how well nerve blocks—injections that numb a specific area—relieve pain in adults who come to the emergency room with a broken bone. It aims to see if this approach helps control pain better, so you may get quicker, more effective relief while being treated for your fracture.
This study compares two types of dental needles to see which causes less pain during numbing shots in the upper front teeth. It's for people who need treatment on both sides of the upper jaw and want to find a more comfortable shot.
This trial studies whether a numbing “nerve block” can reduce long-lasting nerve pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. You may keep your usual pain medicines, and the study will mainly check whether you fit the safety and diagnosis criteria.
