The Effectiveness of Laser Acupuncture & Standard Medication Therapy on

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Acute toothache is a problem that often occurs in the oral cavity. Toothache can be caused by an impacted tooth, in which the tooth cannot or will not erupt into its normal position. The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMFS) states that 9 out of 10 people have at least one impacted tooth, and impacted mandibular third molars have the greatest prevalence. Laser acupuncture is an acupuncture modality that has the benefit of reducing pain after third molar extraction. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the group that received a combination of laser acupuncture and standard medication compared to the group that received the combination of sham laser acupuncture and standard medication alone, in management of post-mandibular odontectomy patients. The main objective of this study is to analyze the combination of laser acupuncture and medication significantly improving the patient's pain intensity, interincisal distance and post-odontectomy swelling compared to the combination group of sham laser acupuncture and medication.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a clinical trial study to evaluate the group that received a combination of laser acupuncture and standard medication compared to the group that received the combination of sham laser acupuncture and standard medication alone, in management of post-mandibular odontectomy patients. The required sample was 57 mandibular third molars in male/female subjects post-odontectomy and randomized into 2 groups: (1) combination of laser acupuncture with standard medication and (2) combination of sham laser acupuncture with standard medication. The subjects will receive two times treatment, on day-1 (baseline) and day-3 after odontectomy. The outcome will be assessed on day-1 (baseline), day-3 and day-7 post-odontectomy. Patients and outcome assessors will be blinded to the group allocation. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
