About

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether it is possible to get a preliminary idea about the postoperative pain in the patient with the results of a practical cold press test applied to American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) 1 and 2, healthy, male patients aged 16-35 before extraction of the lower third molar. The main question it aims to answer are:

• Can post-operative pain be predicted with an cold test that can be applied more practically than conventional quantitative sensory tests applied preoperatively? Participants will need to keep their hands on ice for 240 seconds prior to third molar surgery. When they take their hands off the ice, they will be asked to describe their pain on the visual analog scale. After the operation, the participants are required to mark whether they use painkillers every 8 hours in their pain follow-up forms and the pain they feel according to the visual analog scale.

Depending on the endurance time of the participants to keep their hands on the ice; Two different groups were determined as less than 240 sec and equal to 240 sec. The pain scores and the amount of painkiller use between these two groups were compared with each other.

Enrollment: 30 patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 16 to 35 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

---

30 participants in 2 patient groups

The group who removed their hands from ice packs before 240 seconds

Experimental group

Description:

In our study, a cold pressor test was applied to the participants in order to measure the pain tolerance according to the time duration they could keep their hands on the ice pack before the operation. Participants were prepared for an ice test in another area other than the operation area. Participants were asked to place their hands on standardized ice packs and keep them on the ice pack for 240 seconds. It was also said that if they could not tolerate pain, they could remove their hands from the ice before 240 seconds. The participants were asked to express the pain as a number between 0 (no pain) and 10 (unbearable pain) according to the visual analog scale when they removed their hands from the ice pack. Participants were divided into two groups according to the time duration of ice test as less than 240 seconds and equal to seconds.
