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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a broken jaw or cheekbone that needs surgery.
- You are not allergic to numbing medicine (like lidocaine).
- Your only broken bones are in your face (no other serious injuries elsewhere).

This trial is testing whether a numbing medicine called bupivacaine, given into the chest space during surgery, can reduce pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. It aims to find a better way to manage pain after the procedure.
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 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 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.
This trial tests if giving a numbing injection before front neck surgery under general anesthesia helps control pain better. It may be a good option if you are having this type of elective surgery.
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.
