Brain Wave Sounds to Reduce Anxiety in Child Dental Extractions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to special brainwave-synchronized sounds can help 6–9 year old children feel less anxious and pain during tooth removal. Researchers want to see if this non-medication approach works for kids who need to have baby molars pulled.

This study tests whether breathing in lavender or rosemary oil—or a mix of both—can help children feel less anxious or have less pain during a tooth extraction. It's a simple, natural approach to make dental visits easier.
This study tests two non-drug methods to help children feel less pain and worry during a tooth extraction: an audio-video distraction (like a movie or music) and a special pressure point (acupoint) stimulation on the hand. It aims to see which approach works best for kids ages 5 to 8 who need a baby tooth removed.
This study tests whether playing a dental-themed game on a mobile device can help children aged 4 to 7 feel less pain and anxiety during a pulpotomy (a procedure to treat deep cavities in baby teeth). It aims to make the dental visit easier for kids who are cooperative but may be nervous.
This study tests if an electronic syringe causes less pain and anxiety in children during a dental numbing shot compared to a conventional syringe. It is for healthy 6-8 year olds getting their first dental visit and who need a filling on a baby molar on each side of the mouth.
This trial tests if a video game-like biofeedback tool (BrightHearts) or virtual reality can help children feel calmer during a numbing injection for dental work. It may be a good fit for healthy kids ages 7–12 who need a shot in the lower jaw.
This study tests whether aromatherapy (calming scents) and digital anesthesia (numbing technology) can help reduce anxiety and pain when children need a baby molar removed. The goal is to find gentler ways to keep children comfortable during dental procedures.
