About this study
Official title: Effect of Intracanal Cryotherapy on Postoperative Pain in Molar Teeth With Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis and Apical Periodontitis
the aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of cryotherapy on postoperative pain in molar teeth with irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis
Read the detailed description
the purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of 2.5c cold saline irrigation as a final irrigant on postoperative pain after single visit root canal treatment of teeth with vital pulp and apical periodontitis .thirty patients will be included in the study .the teeth will be divided into 2 groups (i.e the control group and the cryotherapy group ) in the cryotherapy group ,final irrigation with 2.5c cold saline solution for 5 mins will be performed following completion of biomechanical preparation whereas in control group same solution stored at room temperature will be used . treatment will be done in a single visit then participants will be asked to rate the intensity of postoperative pain using numerical rating scale at 6,12,24,48 hrs
- Conditions
- Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis
- Being tested
- cryotherapy, normal saline
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
cryotherapyProcedure or surgery
2.5c cold saline is used as a final flush after chemomechanical preparation
normal salineProcedure or surgery
a room temperature saline is used as a final flush after mechanical preparation
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| cryotherapy | Experimental | 2.5c cold saline as a final flush after chemicomechanical debridement Receives: Procedure: cryotherapy |
| normal saline | Other | room temperature saline is used as a final flush after chemicomechanical preparation Receives: Procedure: normal saline |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
postoperative pain assessed by NRS
Primary outcome (post-operative pain) will be collected by the operator through (NRS) which is an 11 point scale consisting of numbers from 0 through 10 0: reading represents "no pain"
1- 3: readings represent "mild pain" 4- 6: readings represent "moderate pain" 7- 10: readings represent "severe pain"
Measured: up to 48 hrs postoperative pain
Secondary outcomes (1)
amount of analgesics assessed by counting
number of analgesics tablets up to 48 hrs postoperatively
Measured: up to 48 hrs postoperatively

Contact magy E elaskary (01001467262, magiessam@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
postoperative pain assessed by NRS (time frame: up to 48 hrs postoperative pain). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03716635, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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.
