Ketorolac for pain after root canal
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if putting ketorolac (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) inside the tooth during a root canal can reduce pain afterward. It is for people who have a dead nerve and long-standing infection in a single-rooted tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have a tooth with a dead nerve and a chronic (long-standing) infection at the tip of the root, and it has only one root.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not taken any NSAID pain relievers (like ibuprofen, naproxen) or opioids (like oxycodone, morphine) in the 24 hours before your root canal.
- You do not have any medical conditions that affect how you feel pain or how your body heals.

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 a special nano-sized (extremely tiny) medication placed inside a tooth after a previous root canal treatment failed. The goal is to reduce inflammation and swelling in the bone around the tooth's tip so it can heal better.
This trial looks at whether a ketorolac pain medicine given directly to the leg during surgery can reduce pain after lower-limb orthopedic operations. It may help people who are having one leg operated on with spinal anesthesia and a tourniquet, but it has several safety limits.
This study tests different medications placed inside a tooth's root canal during treatment to see which one best reduces pain afterward. If you have a tooth with a dead nerve (necrotic pulp), this trial might help determine the best way to manage your pain during the healing process.
This trial tests whether a lower dose of the pain medicine ketorolac can safely control pain for people in the intensive care unit (ICU). If you are in the ICU and have pain, this study might help find a better way to treat it.
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.
