Numbing injection before nose surgery for better pain relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for septorhinoplasty (nose surgery) and are in generally good health (ASA class I or II).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30.
- You do not have bleeding problems, severe heart valve disease, infection near the injection site, or allergy to numbing medicines.
- You do not have facial paralysis, nerve disease, or a history of stroke or brain blood vessel disease.
- You are not taking strong pain pills (opioids) for chronic pain, and you do not have addiction to alcohol, drugs, or other substances.

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 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 study tests whether numbing a nerve inside the nose (called a sphenopalatine ganglion block) on both sides can reduce pain after septoplasty, a surgery to straighten the cartilage and bone inside the nose. If you're having this surgery, the treatment might help you feel less pain afterward.
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 study tests whether a numbing injection near a nerve in the nose can reduce pain after sinus surgery, so you may need fewer strong painkillers. If you're having sinus surgery, this could help manage your pain more safely.
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.
