Pain genes and inflammation in tooth root canal treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You are generally healthy (no major chronic diseases like diabetes or nerve disorders)
- You have a lower back tooth (first or second molar) with painful inflammation inside the tooth that needs root canal treatment
- Your tooth is still alive and responds to cold and electrical tests
- You have moderate to severe pain before treatment begins
- You have not taken pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, or antibiotics in the last 48 hours

This trial tests whether the phase of your menstrual cycle affects how well local anesthesia works for a root canal. It may help dentists give you better pain control based on your cycle.
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 different numbing techniques used during emergency root canal treatment in children's back lower teeth. Researchers want to see which method works better at relieving pain during the procedure.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain from advanced decay: a partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) versus a full root canal treatment. It aims to find which approach works better for saving the tooth.
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.
This study looks at the tissue inside your tooth (the pulp, or nerve) to better understand inflammation. If you're having a root canal or tooth removal as part of your regular dental care, the dentist will collect a small sample of that tissue for research. This might help improve future treatments for tooth pain and infection.
