Brief Summary:
This observational study evaluates whether resting-state EEG alpha activity can help identify endodontic patients at higher risk of post-operative pain following single-visit root canal treatment. EEG will be recorded before treatment and pain intensity will be self-reported using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) during the early post-treatment period.
Detailed Description:
This observational clinical study is designed to examine the association between resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) alpha activity and the intensity of post-operative pain following single-visit root canal treatment. Participants will be recruited from an endodontic clinic after ethics committee approval. Resting-state EEG will be recorded using a wearable EEG system prior to treatment. Post-operative pain intensity will be assessed using a patient-reported Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) during the early post-treatment period.
Participants will be classified based on baseline alpha activity (e.g., lower versus higher alpha power range). Analyses will evaluate whether baseline EEG alpha measures are associated with subsequent pain ratings and whether differences in alpha activity relate to higher post-operative pain susceptibility. The goal is to determine whether EEG alpha activity may serve as a practical biomarker for post-endodontic pain susceptibility.
