Pre-Dental ibuprofen may calm Kids' pain and nerves, new trial suggests
NCT ID NCT07374354
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving children with MIH (a tooth condition causing sensitivity) ibuprofen syrup 30 minutes before dental treatment reduces pain and anxiety. About 46 kids aged 6-12 will receive either ibuprofen or a placebo. Pain and anxiety will be measured using special scales and heart rate monitors. The goal is to find a simple way to make dental visits more comfortable for these children.
