An interventional study of Photobiomodulation (PBM)-induced analgesia device using multi-wavelength LED and Medicated analgesia in Pulpitis and Pain Management, sponsored by Dubai Health. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 59 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-13.
Sponsored by Dubai Health · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of the Research Study and Overview of Participation: This study will compare different approaches used to prevent pain when giving local anesthesia to numb the teeth while managing dental cavities and decay. Specifically, it seeks to determine which approach will reduce the pain and discomfort during or after the procedure. This will help dentists to choose the best approach to reduce patient's pain and discomfort and improve the overall experience of dental treatment.
Participants in the study would likely undergo the following:
This design ensures that the study collects reliable data on the effectiveness of the different topical anesthetic approaches while prioritizing patient safety and comfort.

Photobiomodulation (PBM)-induced analgesia device using multi-wavelength LED
Topical anesthesia (Benzocaine 20%)
Placebo with no intervention.
Pain score after local anesthesia administration, dental procedure, and 48 hours postoperatively.
Pain score based on Visual Analog Scale (1-10) with highest score indicates the most severe pain.
Time frame: Within 5 minutes after local anesthesia administration, during dental procedure, directly after finishing the procedure, and 48 hours postoperatively.
Pain score with prick pain test (PPT)
Pain score will be reported as "pain" or "no pain".
Time frame: One minute after topical anesthesia.
Pain score with pulpal stimulation using electric pulp tester (EPT)
Digital reading from 1 to 64 with the highest score indicates no pain response on electric stimulation.
Time frame: After 2 minutes of topical anesthesia.
Amount of local anesthesia to be given
Counting the number of used local anesthetic carpules.
Time frame: At the end of dental procedure.
Need for additional analgesics
Count the number and dose of oral analgesics taken by the patient.
Time frame: Within 48 hours postoperatively.
Reporting of any adverse effects, such as mucosal irritation, allergic reactions, and delayed pain relief.
Reported by the patient.
Time frame: Within 48 hours postoperatively.
