New nerve block technique could cut opioid use after jaw surgery

NCT ID NCT05351151

Summary

This study tested whether using ultrasound to guide numbing injections near specific nerves could better control pain after corrective jaw surgery. Researchers compared this nerve block approach to standard local numbing in 50 patients undergoing the procedure. The main goal was to see if the nerve blocks reduced the need for opioid painkillers and their side effects in the first two days after surgery.
