Numbing injection for pain after tonsil surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a numbing injection near a nerve in your nose to see if it can reduce pain and help you recover faster after tonsillectomy. It is a non-drug approach that may offer an alternative to strong pain medicines.

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 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 a nerve block (sphenopalatine ganglion block) can reduce pain after a child's tonsillectomy. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the block or a sham procedure, and their pain levels and recovery are monitored.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near a nerve in your nose) can reduce pain after septoplasty, which is surgery to straighten the wall inside your nose.
This trial tests if injecting numbing medicine near certain nerves in the head and neck can reduce pain after tonsil and adenoid surgery in children aged 5–13. It may help them recover more comfortably.
