About this study

Official title: the Effect of Intraligamentary Injection of Lornoxicam on the Intensity of Post-operative Endodontic Pain in the Tooth With Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis

To determine the effect of intraligamentary injection of Lornoxicam on the intensity of post-operative endodontic pain in the tooth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

Read the detailed description

sixty qualified samples (initial estimate which will be come more accurate after the pilot study on 6 patients) will be divided randomly in three groups which all of them will have an inferior Alveolar injection and before the beginning of the treatment the primary group will receive an injection of 0.4 mL ( 0.2 mL in mesio buccal and 0.2 mL in disto buccal) of Lornoxicam and the second group will be injected with 0.4 mL of normal saline( 0.2 mL in mesio buccal and 0.2 mL in disto buccal) ,in third group we will only pretend the injection but actually there is no substance injected ,making the patient believe that there was an injection . Then the patients' pain will be evaluated with visual Analogue Scale analysis (VAS) 0-170 mm in time intervals of 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after the treatment.

Being tested
Lornoxicam, normal saline, no injection

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lornoxicam, normal saline and no injection in people with Post Operative Endodontic Pain, run by Islamic Azad University, Sanandaj at 1 site in Iran.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Iran. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post operative endodontic's pain (time frame: 6,12,24,48 hours after drug's injection). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jan 2013.
