Numbing injection in the face to ease craniofacial pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an injection of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) guided by an endoscope can reduce craniofacial pain. It may help people with certain headache or facial pain conditions by targeting the pain area more precisely.

This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine (lidocaine) into a small artery in the face (the external carotid artery) can help people with hard-to-treat chronic migraines or persistent face/skull pain. It is for those who haven't found relief from standard treatments.
This trial tests a numbing injection inside the nose to quickly relieve severe headaches caused by a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage). It may help reduce pain without strong medicines.
This trial tests whether a long-lasting numbing shot (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than a regular numbing shot (plain bupivacaine) for pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. It may help you have less post-surgery pain and potentially use less pain medication.
This trial compares two methods of numbing pain—an injection near the joint versus a nerve block—during ankle or hindfoot surgery. It aims to see which approach helps with comfort and recovery after surgery.
This study tests a long-acting numbing medicine to reduce pain during and after radiology procedures. It may help patients who do not have chronic pain conditions.
This study tests a long-lasting numbing medicine (bupivacaine) injected during tonsillectomy to see if it helps reduce pain after surgery. It may offer better pain control than standard care.
