Comparing suzetrigine and Norco for pain after dental or jaw surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two pain relievers after certain dental or jaw surgeries: suzetrigine (a new non-opioid painkiller) and Norco (a hydrocodone/acetaminophen combination). The goal is to see which medicine gives better pain relief after surgery, and to offer a potentially safer option.
