About this study

Official title: Photobiomodulation Dosimetry Based on Anthropometric and Hemodynamic Variables in Patients With Orofacial Pain

This project aims to validate a dosimetry model for photobiomodulation treatment in patients with orofacial pain and tension-type headache symptoms. The study will involve 240 participants divided into four age groups. Different treatment approaches will be applied, including local photobiomodulation and systemic laser therapy. Various physiological measurements will be taken before, during, and after the treatments, including skin type, weight, height, blood pressure, and heart rate. Additionally, data from questionnaires on pain and headache symptoms will be analyzed. Monte Carlo simulation will be employed to validate the model based on these measurements and light transmission. The research addresses the need for effective pain management strategies in cases where medication-based treatments may have unwanted side effects.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PhotobiomodulationRadiation

    660 nm and 100 mW, directing the light beam towards the radial artery region, for 10 minutes per session.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Photobiomodulation in people with Orofacial Pain and Tension-Type Headache, run by University of Nove de Julho.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Headache and orofacial pain (time frame: two weeks). 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 NCT06065969, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Oct 2023.
