NCT ID NCT07241364
First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tests whether a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the neck) can reduce pain after ear surgery better than standard pain medicine. 46 adults aged 20-40 having simple ear surgery will be split into two groups: one gets the nerve block plus general anesthesia, the other gets general anesthesia alone. Researchers will measure pain scores and how much extra pain medicine is needed.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a better way to manage pain after ear surgery, reducing the need for strong painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 46 participants. The nerve block may not provide better pain relief than standard care, and there are risks like infection or nerve damage.
