Red wine compound gel may ease pain after gum surgery

NCT ID NCT06521333

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a gel made from resveratrol (a compound found in red wine) could reduce pain after a gum graft procedure better than a hyaluronic acid gel. Thirty adults who needed gum grafts were given one of the two gels applied to the wound. Pain levels were recorded daily for a week. The goal was to see if resveratrol could be a better option for managing post-surgery pain.
