Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a numbing injection in the cheek area before septorhinoplasty to see if it improves pain control and reduces the need for strong IV pain medicine. It may help you have a smoother recovery with less discomfort.
This trial tests whether taking dexamethasone by mouth can reduce pain and nausea after total knee replacement surgery. If you’re eligible, it may help improve comfort during your recovery period.
This trial tests whether a single steroid medicine called dexamethasone given around the time of surgery can reduce pain and nausea after a periacetabular osteotomy. It may help you feel more comfortable in the first days after surgery, depending on your medical history.
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 if two different medicines, dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine, given as a nerve block in your nose during rhinoplasty can better control pain after surgery.
This trial tests two inhaled medicines given before surgery to see which one works better for pain after nasal surgery. One medicine is ketamine and the other is dexmedetomidine, both given as a mist through a nebulizer.
