Deep brain stimulation for neuropathic dental pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with a type of nerve-related tooth pain called atypical odontalgia. It is for those who have not found relief from standard treatments like medications or injections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
