What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. pre-operative pain before single visit root canal treatment by NRS (numerical rating scale)

    Primary outcome will be assessed by NRS (numerical rating scale), the unit of measurement is categorical.The scale is from (0-10) (1-3) Mild pain (4-6) Moderate pain (7-10) Severe pain

    Measured: Baseline

  2. post-operative pain after single visit root canal treatment by NRS (numerical rating scale)

    Primary outcome will be assessed by NRS (numerical rating scale), the unit of measurement is categorical.The scale is from (0-10) (1-3) Mild pain (4-6) Moderate pain (7-10) Severe pain

    Measured: after treatment by 6 hours

  3. post-operative pain after single visit root canal treatment by NRS (numerical rating scale)

    Primary outcome will be assessed by NRS (numerical rating scale), the unit of measurement is categorical.The scale is from (0-10) (1-3) Mild pain (4-6) Moderate pain (7-10) Severe pain

    Measured: after treatment by 12 hours

  4. post-operative pain after single visit root canal treatment by NRS (numerical rating scale)

    Primary outcome will be assessed by NRS (numerical rating scale), the unit of measurement is categorical.The scale is from (0-10) (1-3) Mild pain (4-6) Moderate pain (7-10) Severe pain

    Measured: after treatment by 24 hours

  5. post-operative pain after single visit root canal treatment by NRS (numerical rating scale)

    Primary outcome will be assessed by NRS (numerical rating scale), the unit of measurement is categorical.The scale is from (0-10) (1-3) Mild pain (4-6) Moderate pain (7-10) Severe pain
