Cold therapy for tooth nerve treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if applying cold therapy during a pulpotomy (a procedure to treat tooth nerve infection) improves outcomes. It is for adults with deep cavities in molars that are still restorable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Healthy adults aged 18 or older
- Deep cavity in a back tooth (molar or premolar) causing nerve pain or sensitivity
- Tooth can still be fully restored with a filling
- No signs of nerve death, infection spreading, or gum disease
- Not taking blood thinners or have bleeding disorders
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding, and no allergy to NSAID pain relievers like ibuprofen

This trial tests if using cold (cryotherapy) before a root canal can make the numbing shot work better and reduce pain for people with a specific type of severe toothache called irreversible pulpitis.
This trial compares two dental treatments for “irreversible pulpitis,” a type of tooth-nerve pain that doesn’t settle on its own. It may help you by testing which approach works best for stopping symptoms and keeping the tooth stable.
This study tests whether applying cold to your gum before a numbing injection helps the anesthetic work better for a severely painful lower front tooth. Researchers want to see if this simple cooling step reduces pain during the procedure.
This trial compares two treatments for a tooth nerve that is very inflamed and causing lingering pain: a pulpotomy versus a full root canal. It may help you choose the approach that best relieves symptoms and supports healing for the right kind of tooth.
This study compares two ways to treat a deep cavity in a back molar that has a moderately inflamed nerve. If you have a painful deep cavity, this trial will test if a partial or complete nerve treatment works better to save your tooth.
This study tests if removing only the top part of the damaged tooth nerve can save a deeply decayed molar. It is for people with moderate to severe toothache that doesn't stop, especially when lying down.
