What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study looks back at medical records of 150 children who had cleft palate surgery. Some received standard pain relief with morphine, while others also got a maxillary nerve block. Researchers want to see if the nerve block group needed less morphine, had fewer side effects, and went home sooner.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
suprazygomatic maxillary nerve block (SZMNB)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a nerve block is a safer, effective alternative to morphine for children after cleft palate repair, potentially shortening hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective chart review, not a randomized trial. Results may be influenced by other changes in care over time and may not apply to all hospitals or patients.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of children aged 3 months to 15 years who underwent cleft palate (LKG) surgery at Astrid Lindgren Children's Hospital, Karolinska University Hospital, during 2017-2018. All patients received general anesthesia with standard perioperative monitoring and multimodal analgesia. In 2018, a suprazygomatic maxillary nerve block (SZMNB) was introduced as a routine adjunct to systemic analgesia. The study includes two cohorts: one before (2017) and one after (2018) the implementation of SZMNB. Data are collected retrospectively from medical records without any additional interventions.
