NCT ID NCT05667324
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a nerve block (injection of numbing medicine) could reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after septorhinoplasty, a surgery to fix a deviated nasal septum. Fifty adults received either the nerve block or a placebo. Researchers measured pain scores and recovery time. The goal is to find a safer way to manage post-surgery pain.
