Pain measurement with brain waves in tooth infection
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have a tooth infection (acute pulpitis) that causes pain, confirmed by a dentist.
- The numbing injection for your tooth does not work well for you.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a nerve or mental health condition that affects how you feel pain.
- You are not allergic to numbing medicine or the gel used for brain wave tests.

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.
This trial compares two ways to numb a painful lower back molar. If you have a tooth infection that needs a root canal, you may receive one of two injection techniques to see which works better.
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.
This trial measures two substances (neurokinin A and MMP-9) in the fluid around the root of an infected tooth. It aims to understand how these markers relate to severe tooth pain and infection, which could help improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
This research study examines how your genes affect pain and inflammation when you have a painful tooth that needs root canal treatment. By studying these responses, researchers hope to better understand why some people experience different levels of pain during dental procedures.
This trial tests two different ultrasound methods used during root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain better afterwards. It focuses on people with a specific kind of tooth pain and infection.
