The Role of Regional Anesthesia to Reduce Opioid Requirements Following Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Bupivacaine and Dexamethasone for Pain Management. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Opioids are prescribed for moderate to severe pain disorders; however, there are contraindications and side effects that are common to all opioids. The investigators hypothesize using regional anesthetic during sinus surgery will reduce surgical pain, therefore decreasing the need for post-operative opioid medication. The primary of objective is to determine if a long-acting local regional anesthetic applied during a surgery will reduce post-operative oral opioid usage.
