About this study

Official title: Risk of Nerve Damage After Administration of an Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Using 4% Articaine Versus 2% Lidocaine

This research aims to evaluate of the risk of nerve damage following the administration of articaine 4% and lidocaine 2% for Inferior Alveolar nerve Block (IANB). A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial will be conducted where the patient will be randomly assigned to one the two groups; articaine 4% and Lidocaine 2%. The type of LA will be concealed to the operator, investigators and assessors. The patients will be monitored for any aigns of nerve parathesia for 3 months after the procedure.

Being tested
4% Articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine, 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Electromyograph

    Signs of loss of sensation in the involved side of the jaw will be recorded using a tool called Electromyograph machine to evaluate and record Nerve conduction velocity, the scale is as follow Normal (grade 0) to extremely damage of (grade 6) while a patient rate pain intensity on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 4% Articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine and 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine in people with Inferior Alveolar Nerve Injuries, run by Cleveland Dental Institute at 2 sites 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

Contact Pablo R Velazquez, Resident (7546108595, p.velazquez@cdiohio.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Electromyograph (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT06564987, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 26 Aug 2024.
