Chilling out tooth pain: can ice packs and cold rinses ease root canal recovery?

NCT ID NCT07138365

Summary

This study tested if applying cold therapy could reduce pain and inflammation after a root canal procedure for a painful tooth infection. Researchers compared applying an ice pack to the cheek versus rinsing the tooth's root with cold saline, against a standard treatment with no special cold therapy. They measured pain levels and a specific inflammation marker in 30 adult patients over 72 hours to see which method worked best.
