ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different types of cryotherapy, which is a cold treatment, can help reduce pain after dental procedures for patients with a specific condition called symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The researchers want to compare two methods: one where cold saline is injected under the skin (submucosal cryotherapy) and another where cold is applied directly inside the tooth (intra-canal cryotherapy). The goal is to see which method can better manage pain after treating patients' teeth.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be over 18 years old and have a specific type of tooth pain due to a condition affecting the tooth’s pulp. They should also be able to commit to the study and agree to the terms after learning about it. Participants will be asked about their pain levels at various times after the treatment, and some tests will be done to measure pain-related substances. This research is important because it could help improve pain management for patients undergoing dental treatments.
