Official title
The Effects of Preemptive Multimodal Analgesic on Endodontic Pain.
Overview
A clinical trial comparing preemptive multimodal analgesics with placebo in the management of immediate and chronic post-endodontic pain. The study utilizes statistical methods such as chi-squared, T-tests, and regression analysis, accounting for multiple outcomes with the Bonferroni adjustment. Duloxetine hydrochloride and pregabalin, both available in Bangladesh, are evaluated as experimental drugs, while placebos are used to assess psychological effects on pain. All participants receive standard interventional treatments, with acetaminophen provided as needed, and ethical considerations are addressed according to international guidelines.
Interventions
- Drug Pregabalin- Acetaminophen
Preemptive Multi modal analgesic drug: Experimental group will be divided into 2 subgroups according to use of drug. A. Pregabalin-acetaminophen. B. Duloxetine-Acetaminophen Pregabalin-acetaminophen: Before a half-hour endodontic treatment, patients in this group will receive a single dosage of 50 mg pregabalin and 500 mg acetaminophen. If necessary, acetaminophen dosages of 500 mg will be administered three times a day. - Drug Duloxetine- Acetaminophen
Duloxetine-Acetaminophen: Prior to a half-hour endodontic treatment, patients in this group will receive a single dosage of 500 mg of acetaminophen and 30 mg of Duloxetine. If necessary, acetaminophen dosages of 500 mg will be administered three times a day.
