Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Brief Summary:

Aims: The objective of the current study will be to compare the effectiveness of Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and Placebo on reducing injection pain and post-operative pain in primary tooth extraction, and to compare the parents' satisfaction.

Design: This will be a blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial including sixty six cooperative children, aged 6-8 years old.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background and Aims: The pain could be a problem for the patients during the first few hours after the extraction because of both soft and hard tissues trauma during the operation, despite that the local anesthesia will last for a long time in most of the cases.

There are no enough studies that ensure the validity of giving any analgesic in reducing injection pain and post-operative pain in primary tooth extraction so far.

Design: This will be a blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial including sixty six cooperative children, aged 6-8 years old, randomly assigned to one of three groups to receive one of the oral suspension drugs, that have the same colour and taste, via pre-calibrated medication bottles, which are identical, numbered and containing the same amount of pre-calibrated dosages, as per the following portions:

1. Acetaminophen syrup: 160mg/5ml
2. Placebo solution
3. Ibuprofen suspension: 100mg/5ml

Participants Investigators
The participant will be blinded, the drug administrator will be blinded too, and the investigator who will give the treatment and explain the pain scale to the participant and ask him\\her to point to the face that fits the degree of his pain that associated with the drug administration will also be blinded.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

A (Acetaminophen)

22 children will receive 320mg (10ml) 30 minutes before the local anesthesia injection.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Acetaminophen

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive 320mg (10ml) Acetaminophen (Strawberry flavour), wait for 30 minutes after the administration, then they will be given the local anesthesia injection. Then the child will be asked to point to the face that fits the degree of pain on the self-reporting pain scale WBFS immediately after the injection.

The tooth will be extracted 10 minutes after the injection, then the child will be asked to record the degree of pain on the same scale immediately after the extraction.

Pain will be re-evaluated 15 minutes after the extraction.

The scale will be given to the parents in order to evaluate the post-extraction pain in 1 to 6 hours while the child is at home.

Parents' satisfaction will be evaluated using Likert fifth scale.

B (Placebo)

22 children will receive 10ml 30 minutes before the local anesthesia injection.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive 10ml Strawberry Juice (placebo), wait for 30 minutes after the administration, then they will be given the local anesthesia injection. Then the child will be asked to point to the face that fits the degree of pain on the self-reporting pain scale WBFS immediately after the injection.

The tooth will be extracted 10 minutes after the injection, then the child will be asked to record the degree of pain on the same scale immediately after the extraction.

Pain will be re-evaluated 15 minutes after the extraction.

The scale will be given to the parents in order to evaluate the post-extraction pain in 1 to 6 hours while the child is at home.

Parents' satisfaction will be evaluated using Likert fifth scale.

C (Ibuprofen)

22 children will receive 200mg (10ml) 30 minutes before the local anesthesia injection.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ibuprofen

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive 200mg (10ml) of Ibuprofen (Strawberry flavour), wait for 30 minutes after the administration, then they will be given the local anesthesia injection. Then the child will be asked to point to the face that fits the degree of pain on the self-reporting pain scale WBFS immediately after the injection.

The tooth will be extracted 10 minutes after the injection, then the child will be asked to record the degree of pain on the same scale immediately after the extraction.

Pain will be re-evaluated 15 minutes after the extraction.

The scale will be given to the parents in order to evaluate the post-extraction pain in 1 to 6 hours while the child is at home.

Parents' satisfaction will be evaluated using Likert fifth scale.
