This trial tests whether giving a nerve block (numbing medicine) before anterior cervical spine surgery improves pain control and recovery compared to standard care. It might help reduce pain after surgery and lower the need for painkillers.
This study tests whether numbing the nerves in the neck before throat or neck cancer surgery can reduce pain and improve recovery. It compares the standard anesthesia with an additional nerve block to see if it helps patients feel better after surgery.
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 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 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 trial tests whether a numbing injection (called a multifidus cervicis plane block) in the neck muscles helps reduce pain after back-of-the-neck fusion surgery. Half the participants will get the real block, the other half a sham (fake) block, to see if it really works.
