Nerve block during elective facial surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a numbing “nerve block” to see how well it controls pain for people having planned facial/jaw surgery. If you’re eligible, you’d receive the study’s nerve-block approach during your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 21 to 60 years
- You are having planned (elective) facial/jaw surgery
- You are classified as ASA 1 or 2 (generally healthy or mild medical issues)
- You are not pregnant and not breast-feeding
- You do not have an infection in the mouth or on the face

This study tests a new surgical approach to fix jaw fractures while protecting the facial nerve, which controls facial movement. It aims to reduce nerve damage during surgery.
This trial tests whether giving a nerve block (numbing medicine) before anterior cervical spine surgery improves pain control and recovery compared to standard care. It might help reduce pain after surgery and lower the need for painkillers.
This trial tests whether a nerve block behind the nose can reduce pain after double-jaw surgery. It may help patients who are having this surgery and want better pain control.
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided injection near the nerves in the cheek can reduce pain after jaw surgery. It may help you recover with less discomfort.
This study tests a numbing injection in the neck to reduce pain after surgery on the face, jaw, or neck. It may help you feel more comfortable and need less pain medicine after your operation.
This study tests a numbing injection in the cheek area before septorhinoplasty to see if it improves pain control and reduces the need for strong IV pain medicine. It may help you have a smoother recovery with less discomfort.
