Summary
This study tested whether injecting a long-acting numbing medicine (bupivacaine) into surgical sites just before patients woke up from anesthesia could lower pain and the need for strong painkillers after jaw surgery. 102 adults having jaw surgery were randomly assigned to receive either standard care or the extra numbing injection. Researchers measured pain levels and opioid use over the first 48 hours after surgery.
