What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in Evaporative Air Sensitivity Pain Response on Schiff Sensitivity Scale at Week 4
Response to a constant jet of air applied to hypersensitive teeth was evaluated using a Schiff Sensitivity pain response scale. According to this analog scale, pain response for each individual stimulated tooth ranged from 0 to 3; 0 - participant does not respond to air stimulation, 1 - participant responds to air stimulus but does not request discontinuation of stimulus, 2 - participant responds to air stimulus and request discontinuation of stimulus, 3 - participant responds to air stimulus, considers stimulus to be painful and request discontinuation of stimulus.
Measured: Baseline to 4 weeks post administration of study treatment
Change From Baseline in Tactile Sensitivity Pain Response (g) at Week 4
Response to increasing force on hypersensitive teeth was evaluated using a Yeaple Probe pain response scale. In tactile sensitivity assessment, an increasing force is applied to hypersensitive tooth until a yes response was recorded or the maximum force was reached.
Measured: Baseline to 4 weeks post administration of study treatment
Change From Baseline in Evaporative Air Sensitivity Pain Response on Schiff Sensitivity Scale at Week 8
Response to a constant jet of air applied to hypersensitive teeth was evaluated using a Schiff Sensitivity pain response scale. According to this analog scale, pain response for each individual stimulated tooth ranged from 0 to 3; 0 - participant does not respond to air stimulation, 1 - participant responds to air stimulus but does not request discontinuation of stimulus, 2 - participant responds to air stimulus and request discontinuation of stimulus, 3 - participant responds to air stimulus, considers stimulus to be painful and request discontinuation of stimulus.
Measured: Baseline to 8 weeks post administration of study treatment
Change From Baseline in Tactile Sensitivity Pain Response (g) at Week 8
Response to increasing force on hypersensitive teeth was evaluated using a Yeaple Probe pain response scale. In tactile sensitivity assessment, an increasing force is applied to hypersensitive tooth until a yes response was recorded or the maximum force was reached.
Measured: Baseline to 8 weeks post administration of study treatment
Change From Baseline in Evaporative Air Sensitivity Response on a Visual Rating Scale (VRS) at Week 4
Participants rated the intensity of their response to the stimulus using a 10 point Visual rating scale of 1 (no Pain) to 10 (intense pain).
Measured: Baseline to 4 weeks post administration of study treatment
Change From Baseline in Evaporative Air Sensitivity Response on VRS at Week 8
Participants rated the intensity of their response to the stimulus using a 10 point VRS of 1 (no Pain) to 10 (intense pain).
Measured: Baseline to 8 weeks post administration of study treatment

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing 5% calcium sodium phosphosilicate/ sodium monofluorophosphate dentifrice, 0% calcium sodium phosphosilicate/sodium monofluorophosphate dentifrice and Sodium monofluorophosphate dentifrice in people with Dentine Hypersensitivity, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United States.
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 2 inclusion and 8 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 29 May 2014. 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 United States. 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. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 May 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Change From Baseline in Evaporative Air Sensitivity Pain Response on Schiff Sensitivity Scale at Week 4 (time frame: Baseline to 4 weeks post administration of study treatment). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 May 2014.
