Laser frenectomy pain in kids: which scale tells the truth?
NCT ID NCT07706023
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tracks pain levels in children aged 8 to 14 after a laser-assisted frenectomy, a procedure to correct a tight lip or tongue tie. For seven days after surgery, kids rate their pain using three different scales, including emoji and face-based tools. The goal is to find which scale works best for measuring pain in children and to understand how pain changes over the first week.
