Summary
This study tested whether a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) can reduce pain and the need for strong opioid painkillers after skin graft surgery. 74 burn patients with small burns took part. Researchers compared pain scores and opioid use between those who got the long-acting medicine and those who got standard lidocaine.
