Genes and painkiller response for tooth pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether your genes affect how well a common painkiller (NSAID) works for tooth pain after a root canal procedure. It may help find the best pain relief for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a lower back tooth (molar) that is still alive and is causing pain (symptomatic apical periodontitis).
- Your pain level is greater than 50 on a 0–100 scale.
- You are not pregnant and have not taken any painkillers in the last 12 hours.
- You have no serious health conditions, allergies, genetic disorders, or other dental problems listed in the study.

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 whether a combination of pain medicines given before a root canal can lower pain afterward. It is for people who have moderate to severe tooth pain and are healthy enough for standard treatment.
This trial compares two types of medicine placed inside the tooth after cleaning to see which one reduces pain better. It is for adults with a dead nerve in a lower premolar tooth who are otherwise healthy.
This trial compares two different ways of cleaning and shaping the inside of a tooth (root canal) to see which one causes less pain afterward. It is for people with a specific type of tooth infection in a lower back molar.
This trial tests if a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (diclofenac potassium) injected into the ligament around a painful lower molar works better than a standard local anesthetic (articaine) for numbing. It is for people with a specific type of severe, ongoing tooth pain (symptomatic irreversible pulpitis).
This study tests two different pain medicines (trypsin-chymotrypsin and naproxen sodium) to see which one works better for pain after a root canal. It may help you if you need a root canal and are generally healthy.
