NCT05982392

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in Tramadol, Naproxen sodium and Placebo in participants presenting with irreversible pulpitis in their mandibular posterior teeth. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

  • Local anesthetic efficacy and .
  • Postoperative pain. Participants will receive premedication treatments 60 minutes prior to the local anesthesia administration. Researchers will compare Tramadol, Naproxen sodium and Placebo to evaluate their effects on Inferior alveolar nerve block efficacy and Postoperative pain.

Masking Details
Clinician and participants both will be blind to the medicine given to the participants. Participants will be allowed to pick envelopes and a paramedical staff will be trained in giving medication to the participants. Procedure will be performed by an intern (who is not part of the research)Investigator will also be masked to the treatment being provided Outcome Assessor will be an intern who is not on research.

Model Details: The participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups by envelope method. Group A will receive premedication of Oral tramadol 100mg, Group B will receive premedication of oral naproxen sodium 550mg. Both medicines will be given 60 minutes prior to the local anesthesia administration. The third group, Group C, will be the control group and no active preoperative medication will be given to these participants. A placebo will be given to these participants. These medications will be given as a single intervention only.
