Period pain link? study finds menstrual cycle may worsen root canal discomfort

NCT ID NCT07291518

Summary

This study looked at whether a woman's menstrual cycle phase affects pain after a root canal. Researchers compared pain levels in 72 women (grouped by their cycle phase) and 27 men who all had the same root canal procedure. They found women in their menstrual and post-ovulation phases reported higher pain than men, suggesting hormonal changes might influence short-term pain.
