First seen Mar 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tests whether a numbing injection (bupivacaine) into a nerve cluster behind the nose can reduce pain after minimally invasive pituitary tumor surgery. About 108 adults will receive either the nerve block, a placebo, or no extra injection, and report their pain levels over 24 hours. The goal is to improve comfort and lessen the need for pain medications after surgery.
