EXPAREL for pain after cleft gum repair
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine (EXPAREL) can help control pain after surgery to repair the gum in children and adults with cleft lip or palate. It may mean less discomfort after the procedure.

This study tests a long-acting pain medicine (EXPAREL) given during heart surgery to see how it works in young children. The goal is to help control pain after surgery with fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether a special long-acting numbing medication (bupivacaine liposome) can better reduce pain during and after interventional radiology procedures. Interventional radiology uses imaging to guide minimally invasive treatments, and this medication may help you stay more comfortable during the procedure.
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 is testing a long-acting numbing medicine called Exparel to see how well it controls pain after a specific knee surgery (MPFL reconstruction) in teens and young adults. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers after the operation.
This trial tests whether a breathing treatment (nebulized numbing medicine) can reduce pain during cleft palate repair in young children. It may help comfort your child after surgery when they are under general anesthesia.
This trial tests different ways to manage pain after cleft palate repair in young children. The goal is to find which approach works best to lower pain and improve recovery.
