Cold therapy for tooth pain after root canal
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying cold (cryotherapy) to the tooth and gum can reduce pain after root canal treatment in people with severe tooth pain. It aims to find a safe, drug-free way to manage pain during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a painful tooth with a condition called irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis (the nerve is dying and the area around the root tip is inflamed).
- The painful tooth has a single root (like a front tooth or premolar).
- You are generally healthy and do not have a weak immune system.
- Your pain level is less than 8 out of 10 (0 being no pain, 10 being worst pain).
- You have not taken any pain relievers or antibiotics in the last 12 hours.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two methods to reduce pain after a root canal: applying cold (cryotherapy) and using a steroid medicine called dexamethasone. It aims to find which approach works better for managing post-procedure discomfort.
This study tests whether using a chilled saline rinse during a root canal treatment can reduce pain after the procedure. It compares two standard rinses, with and without cooling, to see which is more comfortable.
This study tests whether cooling the area around a tooth during root canal treatment reduces pain afterward. Root canals treat infections deep inside teeth, and this trial compares standard treatment to treatment with added cooling to see which causes less pain.
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 whether using ultrasound waves or cold therapy inside the tooth during a root canal can lower pain afterward. It is for people with a painful, infected lower molar who need a first-time root canal.
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.
