Summary
This study looks at whether a special numbing injection, called the Twin Block, can reduce jaw muscle pain after wisdom tooth removal. About 48 healthy adults who have pain in their jaw muscles the day after surgery will receive either the injection or a placebo. Researchers will track pain levels and painkiller use over a week to see if the injection helps lower pain and the need for opioids.
