Pain after one-visit vs multiple-visit root canal for people with diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares how much pain you might feel after a root canal treatment done in one visit versus over two or more visits. It is for people with diabetes, to help find the approach that causes less discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two different techniques for cleaning and shaping root canals (the nerve chambers inside teeth) to see which one causes less pain after treatment. If you have a dead nerve in a back lower tooth, this trial may help us understand the best way to treat it with minimal discomfort.
This study compares different ways of moving the cleaning tool inside the tooth during a root canal to see which method causes less pain afterward. If you need a root canal on a lower premolar, this trial may help reduce your discomfort after the procedure.
This study compares how much pain you feel and changes in a pain-related enzyme when root canal treatment is done in one visit instead of two. It aims to find which approach is more comfortable for people with an infected tooth.
This study compares root canal treatment done in one visit versus over multiple visits for children. The goal is to see which method causes less post-treatment pain or swelling (flare-up).
This study tests a special root canal medicine in people with type 2 diabetes to see if it reduces pain and flare-ups after treatment. It may help those with an infected tooth and a small abscess at the root tip feel more comfortable.
This study compares whether treating an infected, dead tooth in one visit works as well as using two visits. It may help you and your dentist choose the simplest schedule while still clearing infection and supporting healing.
