Numbing medicine for facial fracture surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests numbing medicine (local anesthetic) given during surgery for broken facial bones, like the jaw or cheekbones. The goal is to see how well it works and if it helps recovery.

This Phase 3 study tests whether a special form of local numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) helps reduce pain after septorhinoplasty (nose and septum surgery). You may be considered if you’re planning this surgery and can follow study instructions before and after.
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 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.
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 trial compares two additives to standard numbing medicine given before wrist fracture surgery to see which better prevents severe pain. You may qualify if you have risk factors for hard-to-control pain after surgery.
