Comparative Evaluation of Transdermal and Oral Drugs for Management of Post-Endodontic Pain (PATCH-PAIN)

27. května 2026 aktualizováno: Dr Chitra Kumari, Nims University Rajasthan

Comparative Evaluation of Two Different Drugs Administered Using Transdermal Drug Delivery Route Versus Two Oral Tablets in Management of Post-Endodontic Pain

This clinical trial evaluated whether two drugs delivered through transdermal drug delivery systems reduced post-endodontic pain as effectively as two orally administered medications in adult patients undergoing root canal treatment. The study also compared how effectively these medications controlled pain during the first 48 hours after treatment.

The study aimed to answer the following questions:

Did transdermal drug delivery systems provide pain relief comparable to or better than orally administered medications after endodontic treatment? Did pain intensity differ among the four treatment groups as measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)?

The investigators compared two transdermal drug groups with two oral drug groups to identify the treatment that provided better control of post-endodontic pain.

Participants:

Underwent root canal treatment for symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Received one of four analgesic interventions consisting of two transdermal patches or two oral medications.

Recorded pain intensity using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment.

Detailní popis

Post-endodontic pain is a common consequence of root canal treatment and is primarily associated with the release of inflammatory mediators in the periapical tissues following instrumentation and obturation. Analgesic medications are routinely prescribed to reduce pain during the immediate postoperative period. Conventional oral administration is effective but may be associated with gastrointestinal adverse effects and variability in drug absorption. Transdermal drug delivery systems provide sustained release of medication through the skin, maintain relatively stable plasma concentrations, and may improve patient compliance while reducing systemic adverse effects.

This randomized, parallel-group clinical trial was conducted to compare the effectiveness of two transdermal medications, fentanyl patch and ketoprofen patch, with two orally administered medications, diclofenac and ibuprofen, in the management of post-endodontic pain. A total of 80 participants undergoing single-sitting root canal treatment were enrolled and randomly allocated into four equal groups of 20 participants each.

Participants in Group I received a transdermal fentanyl patch; Group II received a transdermal ketoprofen patch; Group III received oral diclofenac tablets; and Group IV received oral ibuprofen tablets according to the study protocol. All interventions were administered after completion of endodontic treatment.

The study was designed to determine whether transdermal administration of analgesic agents could provide pain control comparable to or better than conventional oral therapy during the early postoperative period following root canal treatment. The findings were intended to contribute to evidence-based recommendations regarding alternative routes of analgesic administration for the management of post-endodontic pain in clinical endodontic practice.

Change in Postoperative Pain Intensity from Baseline to 48 Hours Assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Časové okno: From immediately after endodontic treatment to 48 hours post-treatment
Postoperative pain intensity was assessed as the primary outcome using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst possible pain. Pain scores were recorded at predefined time intervals following endodontic treatment, including baseline (immediately after the procedure) and at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively. Data were collected via patient self-report, primarily through telephone follow-up. The primary endpoint for analysis was the pain intensity at 48 hours after treatment, comparing the effectiveness of the four analgesic interventions in reducing postoperative endodontic pain.
