Nerve block showdown: which eases nose surgery recovery best?
NCT ID NCT06929429
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different nerve blocks to see which helps people recover better after nose reshaping surgery (septorhinoplasty). 89 adults received either a sphenopalatine ganglion block or an infraorbital nerve block during surgery. Researchers measured pain, nausea, and overall recovery quality 24 hours later to find which block leads to a smoother, more comfortable recovery.
