Nerve block for pain after jaw surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing injection (nerve block) given after jaw surgery can reduce pain. It is for adults undergoing planned bimaxillary surgery without any other additional procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for bimaxillary surgery (jaw surgery that moves both upper and lower jaws).
- You must not be having any other additional surgery (like a nose job or eyelid surgery) at the same time.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must not have any allergies to numbing medicines (local anesthetics), pain relievers (anti-inflammatories), or strong pain medicines (opioids).
- Your health status must be ASA class 1 or 2 (meaning you are generally healthy or have only mild health problems).

This study tests a nerve block technique on preserved human specimens to see how well it works. It helps researchers understand how to numb the upper and lower jaw.
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 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 tests whether a specific nerve block can reduce pain during and after surgeries on the face, jaw, or upper neck. If you are having a procedure like removing a cyst, draining an abscess, or a lymph node biopsy in these areas, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether a special numbing injection in the upper jaw (bilateral maxillary block) helps reduce the amount of pain medication needed during septorhinoplasty—a surgery to reshape the nose and straighten the septum. The goal is to find ways to use less strong pain medication during surgery.
This trial tests a nerve block treatment for people with long-term jaw pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if this injection can help reduce pain.
