Registered outcomes7
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (WBS) | Immediately after local anesthesia administration ant after tooth extraction | Pain will be assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (0-10). The scale consists of six facial expressions corresponding to scores of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "worst pain possible." Children will be asked to select the face that best represents their pain intensity during local anesthesia injection. Higher scores indicate greater perceived pain. |
| Primary | FLACC Scale (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability): (behavioral assessment) | During local anesthesia injection and tooth extraction | Behavioral pain will be assessed using the FLACC scale (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability; total score range 0-10). Each of the five categories is scored from 0 to 2, with a total score calculated by summing all categories. A score of 0 indicates no pain, 1-3 mild discomfort, 4-6 moderate pain, and 7-10 severe pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain-related behavioral distress during local anesthesia injection. |
| Secondary | Facial Image Scale (FIS) for assessment of dental anxiety | At predefined time points: before the procedure (baseline), after aromatherapy (when applicable), immediately after local anesthesia, and immediately after tooth extraction | Anxiety will be assessed using the Facial Image Scale (FIS), a validated visual self-report measure designed for pediatric patients. The scale consists of five facial expressions representing increasing levels of anxiety, scored from 1 to 5. A score of 1 indicates no anxiety, while a score of 5 indicates very high anxiety. Children will be asked to select the face that best represents how they feel at the time of assessment. Higher scores indicate greater levels of dental anxiety. |
| Secondary | Heart rate during dental procedure | At predefined time points: before the procedure (baseline), after aromatherapy (when applicable), during local anesthesia administration, immediately after anesthesia, during tooth extraction, and immediately after extraction | Heart rate (beats per minute) will be measured using a pulse oximeter at predefined procedural time points. Higher values indicate increased physiological stress response. |
| Secondary | Oxygen saturation (SpO₂) during dental procedure | At predefined time points: before the procedure (baseline), after aromatherapy (when applicable), during local anesthesia administration, immediately after anesthesia, during tooth extraction, and immediately after extraction | Oxygen saturation (%) will be measured using a pulse oximeter. Lower values may indicate altered respiratory patterns or stress-related physiological response. |
| Secondary | Systolic blood pressure during dental procedure | At predefined time points: before the procedure (baseline), after aromatherapy (when applicable), during local anesthesia administration, immediately after anesthesia, during tooth extraction, and immediately after extraction | Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) will be measured using a non-invasive blood pressure monitor. Higher values indicate increased physiological stress response. |
| Secondary | Diastolic blood pressure during dental procedure | At predefined time points: before the procedure (baseline), after aromatherapy (when applicable), during local anesthesia administration, immediately after anesthesia, during tooth extraction, and immediately after extraction | Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) will be measured using a non-invasive blood pressure monitor. Higher values indicate increased physiological stress response. |
