NCT ID NCT07522918
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested if a single session of light therapy, applied to the cheek right after removing an impacted wisdom tooth, could reduce pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness. 70 healthy adults took part. The light therapy helped lower pain in the first few days but did not reduce swelling or stiffness. It is a simple, non-drug option for pain relief after this common surgery.
