Cryotherapy for toothache relief
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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 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.
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 two different ways of using cold irrigation (a chilled liquid) after a root canal to see which one lowers pain better. If you have a painful lower molar and need a root canal, this trial may help you feel better faster.
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 study tests two ways of using cold therapy inside a tooth during a root canal to reduce pain and improve how well numbing medicine works. If you have a painful lower back tooth that needs a root canal, this trial may offer relief.
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.
