Long-acting vs standard numbing for nose surgery pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine used during open rhinoplasty (nose surgery) to see which one controls pain better after surgery. One is a long-acting version (liposomal bupivacaine) and the other is the standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a long-lasting numbing shot (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than a regular numbing shot (plain bupivacaine) for pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. It may help you have less post-surgery pain and potentially use less pain medication.
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 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 study compares two types of numbing medicine (liposomal vs. hydrochloride bupivacaine) injected near the ribs during lung surgery. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation.
This trial tests whether a numbing injection (regional anesthesia) during nose surgery can reduce the need for strong pain pills afterward. It's for people having their first nose surgery at specific military hospitals.
This study tests whether a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the spine can better control pain after lung surgery. It compares this to a standard numbing medicine, and aims to help patients recover with less pain after surgery.
