Nerve block may cut pain after face surgery
NCT ID NCT05854537
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a nerve block (sphenopalatine ganglion block) could reduce pain after maxillofacial (face) surgery. 60 adults were split into two groups: one received numbing medicine via a gauze and injection in the nose, the other received salt water (placebo) the same way. The main goal was to measure pain levels 6 hours after surgery using a 1-10 scale. The study also tracked how much pain medicine was needed during surgery and how much blood loss occurred.
