NCT ID NCT06023329

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding a superficial cervical plexus block to standard care reduces opioid use and pain in children aged 3 months to 18 years undergoing ear surgery (cochlear implant or tympanomastoidectomy). Half the children get the block plus standard care, the other half get standard care alone. The goal is to see if the block leads to less pain and less need for strong painkillers.
