Insomnia and Post-Dental Surgery Pain: A Look at Sleep Quality and Pain After Tooth Extractions

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center, prospective observational study enrolling adults undergoing dental extractions. Participants are classified into two cohorts based on baseline sleep quality: those without preoperative sleep disturbances and those with preoperative sleep disturbances. Researchers will collect baseline sleep and mood questionnaires, record intraoperative pain, and follow up on postoperative pain and recovery over a short-term window. The aim is to understand if pre-surgery sleep quality is linked to pain intensity after dental procedures. Data will be analyzed over 18 months of recruitment and 6 months of analysis to identify potential associations.
