Active clinical trials for "Toothache"

Opioid analgesics are the most common postoperative pain medications used among dentists in the United States.Although these medications are highly effective in the postoperative dental pain management, not all patients optimally benefit from this therapy. Many suffer adverse consequences such as nausea, emesis, and psychomotor impairment, and there is a high prevalence of opioid prescription misuse among substance abusers within the dental patient population. The use of non-opioid analgesics including ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the management of postoperative dental pain has demonstrated equivalent or superior analgesic effects compared to opioid analgesic therapies, typically with significantly less adverse effects.However, despite these results, dentists have encountered a high variability in the success of non-opioid analgesic responses among the postoperative dental pain population.Thus, new strategies for earlier recognition of analgesic responses for pain medications is fundamental in the field of dentistry. Therefore, this study will evaluate the clinical utility of pharmacogenomic testing in acute postoperative dental pain management among healthy adults who undergo extraction of impacted mandibular third molar.

The goal of this study is to compare the speed and adequacy of pain relief in Emergency Department patients with a toothache after an oral analgesic or a local anesthetic administered as a nerve block or by local infiltration.

This study is being conducted to determine the overall analgesic efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose ibuprofen 250 mg / acetaminophen 500 mg formulation compared to placebo in subjects who are experiencing post operative pain following surgical extraction of 3 or more third molar teeth. A review of any reported adverse events will also be completed.

This is a dental pain study evaluating the efficacy and safety of a single dose of test acetaminophen (ACE) (1000 mg) compared to commercial acetaminophen (1000 mg), ibuprofen (IBU) (400 mg), and placebo over a 6 hour period. Subjects will undergo dental extraction of three or four third molars.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of chemo-mechanical caries removal using Papacarie-Duo and Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) in reducing dental pain in pregnant women.

The study hypothesis is that single and multiple doses of ibuprofen 600 mg ER caplets provide analgesic efficacy superior to placebo over 12-hour dosing intervals.

This study will compare the analgesic efficacy of a single-dose of a novel ibuprofen formulation to placebo and acetaminophen in the treatment of post-surgical dental pain following "wisdom" tooth (third molar) removal.

Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of a single dose of an ibuprofen effervescent tablet in the treatment of pain following third molar extraction in comparison to single doses of placebo, standard ibuprofen tablets, and effervescent aspirin plus vitamin C tablets.

To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of a single, oral dose of a naproxen sodium extended-release tablet, compared to placebo in postsurgical dental pain.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a single dose of an ibuprofen 600 mg extended release formulation in post-operative dental pain. There is concern that the manufacturing process may affect the performance characteristics of the selected prototype. Therefore, two formulations of this prototype manufactured by two different processes, [roller compaction] and [wet granulation] will be included in this study. The preferred prototype manufactured by two different methods will be compared to placebo and each other. This study will also characterize the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship with these formulations.
