Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Despite growing evidence that menopausal status affects pain thresholds and anxiety in medical settings, there is limited clinical data in dental and endodontic settings, particularly during acute pain conditions like SIP. Understanding these differences can help clinicians tailor pain control strategies, communication, and anxiety management protocols in menopausal women. Timepoint: 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post treatment

Secondary
