Could a simple mist replace needles for kids' post-surgery pain?
NCT ID NCT04928352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) as a mist before surgery can lower pain and the need for extra painkillers in children aged 1-7 having cleft palate repair. Half the children get the mist, half get a placebo, and neither the doctors nor families know which is which. The goal is to see if this simple, needle-free approach makes recovery more comfortable.
