Nerve blocks may cut opioid use in newborn cleft lip repair
NCT ID NCT06067854
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at 111 newborns who had cleft lip repair surgery. Researchers compared those who received a regional nerve block for pain relief to those who did not. The goal was to see if the nerve block reduced the amount of opioid pain medicine needed during and after surgery. The study also checked for complications and how soon babies could eat after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If the nerve block reduces opioid use, it could point to safer pain management for newborns after cleft lip repair.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study, so it can't prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all newborns or other surgeries.
