Pain and period life: does menstrual cycle or menopause change pain during root canals?

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 observational study will enroll adults undergoing root canal treatment and collect information about their menstrual cycle phase or menopausal status. Pain will be measured at different points during the procedure and in follow-up visits, without any treatment based on cycle phase. The analysis will explore associations between cycle phase, menopausal status, and both intraoperative and post-treatment pain experiences. Participants provide self-reported information on reproductive status and pain scores to help clarify whether hormonal status influences dental pain perception.
