NCT ID NCT07280338
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how emotional intelligence—the ability to understand and manage emotions—relates to chronic orofacial pain (pain in the face or mouth lasting over three months). Researchers will compare 88 adults with and without this pain using questionnaires about emotions, coping, and stress. The goal is to see if emotional intelligence can help improve pain management and prevention.
