Pain after light therapy for root canal teeth
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if using curcumin with a special light can reduce pain after root canal treatment. Curcumin, a natural substance found in turmeric, is used as a light-sensitive agent to help kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.

This trial tests whether a special light treatment, called photobiomodulation, can help reduce pain and speed up healing after a specific type of dental surgery on the root of a tooth. The surgery involves a small cut in the gum, and the light may help the gum recover faster.
This trial tests whether a special cooling treatment (cryotherapy) can reduce pain right after a root canal for a badly infected lower premolar. If you are healthy and not on painkillers, this may help you feel better faster.
This study tests two different ways of cleaning and treating a tooth that had a root canal treatment before. Researchers want to see which method causes less pain after the procedure.
This trial tests whether two new dental rinses, used with special activation methods, can reduce pain and complications after treating teeth with severe pulpitis (tooth nerve inflammation). It may help people with multiple-root teeth who need root canal treatment.
This study tests whether cold therapy (cryotherapy) can reduce pain after re-treating a root canal infection. It aims to see if this treatment changes certain natural chemicals in the body (PGE2 and NGF) that are linked to pain.
This trial tests if a melatonin gel placed inside the tooth can reduce pain after root canal treatment. It compares melatonin to the standard calcium hydroxide paste. The goal is to see which works better for pain, bacterial reduction, and tissue healing.
