Cryotherapy and dexamethasone for pain after root canal
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying cold therapy or a steroid medicine inside the tooth after a root canal can reduce pain after the procedure. If you have a painful, infected tooth needing a root canal, this might help you feel more comfortable afterward.

This study tests whether using a chilled saline rinse during a root canal treatment can reduce pain after the procedure. It compares two standard rinses, with and without cooling, to see which is more comfortable.
This trial is testing two cold-therapy techniques applied directly to the tooth nerve to see which one better reduces pain during a root canal treatment. It aims to make the anesthesia work faster and more effectively, so you feel less discomfort during the procedure.
This study looks at whether putting a common steroid medicine (dexamethasone) inside the tooth during a root canal can reduce pain after the procedure. If you have a painful tooth with an inflamed nerve, this treatment might help you feel better faster.
This study tests if applying cold therapy to a tooth after a second root canal procedure can reduce pain, and looks at how it affects certain natural chemicals in the body. It may offer a simple, drug-free way to manage discomfort after the treatment.
This trial tests whether rinsing the tooth with either tramadol (a pain reliever) or dexamethasone (a steroid) after a root canal reduces pain better. It is for people with a single-rooted tooth that has a very painful, inflamed nerve.
This study tests a special cold spray (cryoagent) applied during root canal treatment to see if it reduces pain after the procedure. If you're having root canal pain, this might help make recovery more comfortable.
