First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study tests whether a numbing injection (nerve block) given before facial fracture surgery can lower the amount of strong painkillers (opioids) needed after the operation. About 70 adults with broken jaw or midface bones will be randomly assigned to receive either the numbing drug or a placebo. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce opioid-related side effects.
