What this Trial Is About
The aim of the proposed study is to investigate and comprehensively understand pain perception in patients diagnosed with symptomatic acute pulpitis who are resistant to inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). The study aims to achieve this by utilizing a dual approach that combines subjective self-reporting of pain intensity using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) with objective neurophysiological assessment through brain wave analysis using electroencephalography (EEG). By integrating these two methods, the study seeks to explore potential correlations between self-reported pain scores and neural responses recorded through EEG, providing insights into the pain experience of this specific patient population. Ultimately, the goal of the study is to enhance the understanding of pain perception mechanisms in individuals with symptomatic acute pulpitis resistant to IANB and potentially guide the development of more effective and personalized pain management strategies for these patients.
