New anesthesia protocol aims to cut pain and hospital stays for teens after jaw surgery
NCT ID NCT05260320
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a standardized anesthesia plan for children aged 14 and older undergoing LeFort jaw surgery. Researchers will compare pain levels, hospital stay length, and need for intensive care between a group receiving the new protocol and a group from past records. The goal is to reduce pain, shorten hospital stays, and lower the risk of long-term problems.
