Pain relief after cleft palate surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after cleft palate repair surgery that uses a bone graft from the hip. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control for children and teens.

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 study compares different nerve blocks for pain control after a planned cesarean delivery. The goal is to find which block provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study looks back at the medical records of children who had cleft palate surgery in 2017 or 2018. It compares how long they stayed in the hospital and their pain needs after surgery, between those who got standard pain medicine alone and those who also got a nerve block to help with pain.
This study compares two pain-block methods for children having lower belly or groin surgery (like hernia repair). It aims to see which block works better to reduce pain after surgery.
This study compares two different injection techniques to reduce pain after appendix removal surgery in children ages 7–12. Both techniques use ultrasound (sound waves) to guide a numbing medication to nerves near the surgical area, and researchers want to see which works better.
