The inhibition of the inflammatory process is one of the methods to reduce or prevent pain during and after treatment.\n\nGinger has a lengthy history of use as a herbal medicine. Ginger has been used in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine to treat a variety of diseases, including arthritis, stomachaches, diarrhea, nausea, asthma, and respiratory problems. It was discovered that ginger also contains substances that prevent PG production. This discovery gave its anti-inflammatory benefits a solid scientific justification. Following research, it was discovered that some of the components of ginger share pharmacological traits with a novel family of dual-acting NSAIDs. These substances have significantly fewer adverse effects than traditional NSAIDs and can inhibit arachidonic acid metabolism via both the cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways.\n\nVarious animal studies have shown that taking dried ginger or ginger extract orally can decrease acute inflammation. Numerous clinical studies back up the effectiveness of ginger in treating osteoarthritis, and in some instances, a noticeable decrease in knee pain has been reported. In some of these studies, it was discovered that ginger, even when used for extended amounts of time, significantly reduced pain and swelling in patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and muscular pain.\n\nThere have been no studies done to evaluate the impact of ginger powder on intra and post-endodontic pain. In order to find the effects of ginger powder capsules on pain after endodontic treatment, the current study was performed.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '45 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
