First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tests whether injecting a long-acting anesthetic called EXPAREL into the surgical wound can reduce pain and improve swallowing after robotic surgery for throat cancer. About 80 adults having this surgery will be split into two groups: one gets EXPAREL plus standard pain care, the other gets standard care alone. Researchers will track pain scores, opioid use, and swallowing function after surgery.
