Summary

This study tested whether injecting a long-lasting numbing medicine (bupivacaine) into surgical sites just before waking up from anesthesia could reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after jaw surgery. 102 adults having jaw surgery took part. Researchers measured pain levels and how much opioid medication they needed in the first 48 hours after surgery.
