Study Summary
The goal of this study is to evaluate non-drug approaches to reducing dental anxiety prior to non-surgical root canal treatment. This will be done by comparing two relaxation methods which will be performed immediately prior to scheduled, clinical non-surgical root canal treatment. Measures of anxiety will be evaluated prior to, and after, the relaxation intervention, as well as after the non-surgical root canal treatment is completed. Participation in the study is completed in a single study visit.
Primary Outcome
STAI-S is a 20 item sub-scale questionnaire which measures subjective self-reported feelings of state anxiety. Responses for each item include four possible responses that range from "very much" to "not at all" and which correlate to a numerical value. Scores range from 20 to 80. A score of 45-80 indicates "high anxiety": 38-44 indicate "moderate anxiety": 20-37 indicate low or no anxiety.
