Brain waves may reveal who will feel more pain after root canal
NCT ID NCT07445633
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring brain waves before a root canal can help predict how much pain a person will feel afterward. One hundred adults with tooth pain took part. Researchers recorded their brain activity at rest and then asked them to rate their pain after treatment. The goal was to see if certain brain wave patterns are linked to higher pain levels.
