Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 5 to 8 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Patients in need of operative dental procedures, requiring inferior alveolar nerve (IANB) anesthesia.
  • Healthy patients (physical status ASA I).
  • Definitely positive or positive patients on the Frankl behavior scale.
  • No reported allergies to LA, epinephrine or sulfites.
  • Normal lip sensation before administration of LA

Who cannot join

  • Patients requiring surgical procedures (i.e. extractions).
  • Patients who will show excessive fear to the Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulator (TENS) device and provide a false-positive response on inactivated electrode (absence of current) using the Venham scale.
  • Patients who will not be trainable in the standardized lip tapping procedure (could not learn to distinguish the anesthetized numb side from the non-anesthetized side).
  • Patients who will not achieve profound numbness after initial LA administration, requiring additional anesthesia using SEM scale.

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Photobiomodulation Using Diode Laser on the Reversal of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Anesthesia in Children: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Inevitable problems were reported following the injection of local anesthesia in pediatric dental procedures, which can last until the elimination of soft tissue anesthesia.

Purpose of the study: To evaluate the effectiveness of diode laser photobiomodulation therapy on the reversal of soft tissue anesthesia (STA) in children following inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia.

Being tested
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block administration with laser irradiation, Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block administration

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block administration with laser irradiationOther

    Patients will receive inferior alveolar nerve block local anesthesia followed by laser irradiation after completion of the operative procedure.

  • Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block administrationOther

    Patients will not receive any laser irradiation after administration of inferior alveolar nerve block local anesthesia.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to recovery of normal lip sensation

    Patients will be asked to rate the lower lip numbness on the anesthetized side in comparison to the contralateral non-anesthetized side as described previously.

    Patients" responses will be recorded every time as "yes" or "no". the number of minutes elapsed from exposure to laser irradiation to the first reported a normal sensation of the lower lip

    Measured: For two hours after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of soft tissue injury

    A telephone call will be done inquiring on any trauma, injury, swelling or biting marks on the lower lip after 24 h.

    this will be recorded as Yes/no responses

    Measured: 24 hours after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block administration with laser irradiation and Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block administration in people with Anesthesia, Local, run by Hams Hamed Abdelrahman at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2022. 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 Egypt. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Time to recovery of normal lip sensation (time frame: For two hours after the procedure). 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 13 Dec 2022.
