ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods of delivering pain relief during a specific type of surgery called functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). The two methods being compared are ultrasound-guided sphenopalatine ganglion block (a type of nerve block used to reduce pain) and a technique called Brainlab navigation. The goal is to see which method works better for managing pain during surgery.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old and in generally good health, meaning you should not have serious medical conditions like heart or lung disease. If you qualify and decide to join, you can expect to receive either of the two pain relief techniques as part of your surgery. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, so it’s important to keep an eye out for updates if you’re interested.
