An interventional study of Kinesiotaping and extraction of impacted third lower molar in Impacted Third Molar Tooth, sponsored by Medical University of Silesia. Completed at 1 site in Poland. Open to participants aged 16 Years to 64 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-28.
Sponsored by Medical University of Silesia · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
PATIENT INFORMATION SHEET Participants are invited to take part in a clinical study involving surgical removal of an impacted lower wisdom tooth. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary.
The purpose of this study is to observe the healing process after wisdom tooth removal and to assess whether the use of elastic therapeutic tape placed on the skin (kinesiotaping) may support recovery.
SURGICAL PROCEDURE The procedure will be performed under local anesthesia and will include: - Administration of local anesthesia
After the surgical procedure, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:
FOLLOW■UP VISITS Participant will be asked to attend follow■up visits on specific days after the procedure to allow the medical team to assess healing. PAIN MANAGEMENT Participant will be allowed to take pain medication if necessary, following medical advice.
VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION Participation in this study is voluntary. Participant may withdraw from the study at any time without giving a reason and without affecting participants medical care.
CONFIDENTIALITY All medical information collected during the study will be handled confidentially and used solely for research purposes.
122 studies on the registry are indexed under Tooth, Impacted; 15 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 62 is below the median of 70 across 88 interventional studies indexed under Tooth, Impacted.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

postoperative pain intensity
Postoperative pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain imaginable. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
Time frame: 2 days post-surgery and 7 days post-surgery
Maximum Mouth Opening (MMO)
Maximum mouth opening will be measured using a caliper as the interincisal distance between the upper and lower incisors at maximum mouth opening.
Time frame: FinishBefore surgery, 2 days after surgery, and 7 days after surgery
Facial Soft Tissue Swelling
Facial swelling will be assessed using linear tape measurements between six predefined facial reference points. The sum of distances will be used for analysis.
Time frame: Before surgery, 2 days after surgery, and 7 days after surgery
Postoperative Analgesic Consumption
The total number of ketoprofen 100 mg tablets taken by each participant will be recorded as a measure of postoperative analgesic demand.
Time frame: Day of surgery, 2 days after surgery, and 7 days after surgery

Ran from Sep 2023 to primary completion in Sep 2025, 23 months.
Of 55 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Tooth, Impacted, half reached primary completion within 20 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 35. This study's 23 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 56 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 34.
Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Oct 28, 2026: start May 2023 → Sep 2023, primary completion Dec 2025 → Sep 2025 and completion Dec 2025 → Sep 2025.
