NCT ID NCT07423195
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares cannabis users and non-users during wisdom tooth removal under IV sedation. Researchers will measure how much sedative medication is needed and track vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure. The goal is to understand if cannabis use changes how people respond to sedation, which could help doctors personalize care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cannabis (recreational marijuana/THC)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help dentists and anesthesiologists adjust sedation doses for patients who use cannabis, improving safety and comfort during wisdom tooth removal.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at differences between users and non-users, so it won't prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other surgeries or patient groups.
