Pain Measured by NRS and EEG in Acute Pulpitis
NCT06526572 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The aim of the proposed study is to investigate and comprehensively understand pain perception in patients diagnosed with symptomatic acute pulpitis who are resistant to inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). The study aims to achieve this by utilizing a dual approach that combines subjective self-reporting of pain intensity using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) with objective neurophysiological assessment through brain wave analysis using electroencephalography (EEG). By integrating these two methods, the study seeks to explore potential correlations between self-reported pain scores and neural responses recorded through EEG, providing insights into the pain experience of this specific patient population. Ultimately, the goal of the study is to enhance the understanding of pain perception mechanisms in individuals with symptomatic acute pulpitis resistant to IANB and potentially guide the development of more effective and personalized pain management strategies for these patients.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06526572
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06526572 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Cleveland Dental Institute, which has 34 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Acute Pulpitis appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Brain wave analysis using electroencephalography (EEG). is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06526572 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
