About this study
Official title: Effect of Ketorolac Premedication on Anesthetic Efficiency of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block, Pre-Treatment and Post-Endodontic Pain in Teeth With Irreversible Pulpitis: A Randomized Controlled Double Blinded Trial
The aim of this study to assess effect of ketorolac premedication on the effectiveness of the inferior alveolar nerve block, pretreatment and postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
Read the detailed description
- Patients will be clinically and radiographically examined and their eligibility will be assessed and preoperative pain will be measured. Eligible patients will be treated in one visit.
- Patients will be randomly assigned to one of 2 groups: experimental group (taking a 10 mg tablet of ketorolac) and the control group (taking a placebo tablet). Each tablet will be taken one hour before starting treatment. The patient's pain will be assessed before local anesthetic adminstration. After 15 minutes of the initial inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB), the teeth will be examined using a cold pulp sensitivity test; in case of no or mild pain, the treatment will be initiated.
- During root canal treatment, no to mild pain response will be considered success. In case of failure, supplemental anesthesia will be administrated.
- Postoperative pain will be assessed 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment. The number of patients who will require rescue analgesic medication within the 48 hours postoperatively will be counted.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Ketorolac TromethamineDrug
Also called ketolac, toradol
A 10 mg tablet of the medication will be given one hour before starting the root canal treatment
PlaceboDrug
The placebo given as a tablet one hour before staring the root canal treatment
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| ketorolac tromethamine | Experimental | One tablet of Ketorolac tromethamine 10-mg one hour before endodontic treatment Receives: Drug: Ketorolac Tromethamine |
| placebo tablet | Placebo comparator | One tablet of a placebo one hour before endodontic treatment Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Anesthetic efficiency
Pain during endodontic treatment will be assessed using a numerical rating scale (NRS). No or mild pain response will be considered success.
Measured: Intraoperative (During endodontic treatment)
Secondary outcomes (2)
Postoperative pain
Postoperative pain will be measured using a numerical rating scale (NRS)
Measured: At 6,12, 24, 48 hours after root canal treatment
Number of patients requiring rescue analgesic.
Number of patients requiring rescue analgesic within 48 hours after endodontic treatment
Measured: Within 48 hours after endodontic treatment

What does the primary outcome measure?
Anesthetic efficiency (time frame: Intraoperative (During endodontic treatment)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02940405, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Oct 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
