NCT ID NCT07281807
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two single-dose pain relievers—piroxicam and prednisolone—given before a root canal to see which one reduces pain better afterward. Sixty adults with an inflamed tooth nerve and infection will take one of the drugs right before treatment. The goal is to find a simple way to make root canals less painful.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
piroxicam and prednisolone
What this could lead to
If one drug works better, dentists may have a simple, single-dose option to reduce pain after root canal treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain relief varies, and neither drug is a cure.
