Brain response study for tooth sensitivity
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to have at least 10 natural teeth (no crowns or bridges) in the front areas of your upper and lower jaw.
- You should be in good general health, as judged by a dentist.
- You must have tooth sensitivity (pain from cold air, for example) in at least one tooth.
- You cannot have braces, untreated cavities, gum disease with deep pockets, a history of seizures, or scalp skin problems.
- You must be able to understand English well enough to follow study instructions.

This study looks at how tooth sensitivity affects your daily life and what treatments people use. It is for people who have recently started having sensitive teeth and have tried products for it.
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 study looks at why some people have more tooth wear and sensitivity. If you are a dental clinic patient with at least 10 natural teeth, you may help researchers understand what causes these problems.
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 tests whether a special toothpaste, desensitizing agents, and a laser can help reduce tooth sensitivity. If you have sensitive teeth, this trial may find a treatment that works for you.
This trial tests if applying fluoride using a mild electric current (iontophoresis) with other minerals can reduce pain in sensitive tooth roots. It may be an option if you have at least four sensitive back teeth.
