Measuring pain during dental treatment with brain waves
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial uses EEG (a brain-wave test) and a pain scale to measure how much discomfort you feel during dental treatment on your upper front tooth. It may help dentists understand pain better and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 20 and 60 years old.
- You must have your upper front tooth (tooth #8) and it must be healthy—fully grown and never injured.
- Your front tooth must have enough healthy tooth above the gum line for the dentist to work with.
- You cannot have advanced gum disease (periodontitis).
- You cannot have a cracked tooth going down the root.
- You cannot have serious health problems that slow healing, or a dead tooth that can't be restored.

This trial studies how pain levels change during planned brain surgery while you are fully asleep, using special brain-monitoring recordings. The goal is to better understand acute pain signals during general anesthesia, which may help anesthesiologists manage pain more effectively.
This study tests whether a simple “faces thermometer” tool can accurately measure pain in children during dental visits. If it works well, it could help dentists and doctors better understand and manage children’s discomfort.
This study uses MRI and EEG to look at brain connections involved in pain. It may help us understand how the brain processes pain and could lead to better treatments.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how your brain responds to different feelings, including mild heat pain. It may help researchers learn more about pain and brain processing by comparing your responses during the tests.
This trial tests a new way to measure pain from a tooth infection using brain wave recordings (EEG). It may help people whose numbing injection doesn't work well.
This study looks at how your brain responds to tooth sensitivity. Researchers will test a simple air puff on your teeth and measure brain activity to better understand nerve signals from sensitive teeth.
