Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Study Investigating the Efficacy of a Mouthwash in Providing Long Term Relief From Dentinal Hypersensitivity (NCT NCT02226562)

NCT ID: NCT02226562

Last Updated: 2018-08-27

Results Overview

The examiner indicated the participant's response to an evaporaitve air stimulus for each tooth using the Schiff Sensitivity Scale scored as follows - 0: Participant does not respond to air stimulation; 1: responds to air stimulus but does not request discontinuation of stimulus; 2: Participant responds to air stimulus and requests discontinuation or moves from stimulus; 3: Participant responds to stimulus, considers stimulus to be painful, and requests discontinuation of the stimulus. A reduction in Schiff Sensitivity score is indicative of an imrpovement in sensitivity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 8 week

Population: The primary population for efficacy assessment was intent-to-treat (ITT) population.The ITT population comprised of participants, who were randomized, received at least one dose of study treatment and provided at least one post-baseline assessment of efficacy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 8 week

Population: The primary population for efficacy assessment was intent-to-treat (ITT) population.The ITT population comprised of participants, who were randomized, received at least one dose of study treatment and provided at least one post-baseline assessment of efficacy.

The examiner assessed the response to tactile sensitivity using a Yeaple probe which allowed application of a known force to the dentin surface, starting at 10g and rising in increments of 10g until the tactile threshold or maximum force was reached. The tactile threshold for each tooth was determined by asking the subject whether the sensation caused discomfort. The pressure setting at which the subject gave two consecutive 'yes' responses was recorded as the tactile threshold. The higher the tactile threshold, the less sensitive the tooth. At baseline, the maximum force used was 20g; at all subsequent visits, it was 80g.

Population: The primary population for efficacy assessment was intent-to-treat (ITT) population.The ITT population comprised of participants, who were randomized, received at least one dose of study treatment and provided at least one post-baseline assessment of efficacy.

Participants rated the intensity of their response to an evaporative air stimulus using a 10 point VRS scale with 1 indicating 'no pain' and 10 indicating 'Intense pain'. A reduction in the score is indicative of an improvement in sensitivity.
