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.

This study tests a special toothpaste that may help reduce tooth sensitivity (pain when teeth touch cold or air). If you qualify, you'll use the toothpaste at home and visit the clinic a few times to see if it helps.
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 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 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.
This study tests whether special toothpastes, desensitizing treatments, and a laser can reduce tooth sensitivity. You'll receive one of these treatments to see if it helps ease discomfort from sensitive teeth.
This trial tests whether a new toothpaste technology can block the tiny tubules in dentin that cause tooth sensitivity. It lasts 2 weeks and will help find better ways to treat sensitive teeth.
