An interventional study of peripheral nerve block by 0.25% levobupivacaine in Postoperative Pain, sponsored by Cairo University. Status unknown at 2 sites in Egypt. Open to participants aged 6 Months to 5 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-10-29.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
Regional blocks are commonly used in pediatric anesthesia to achieve adequate postoperative analgesia. Suprazygomatic Maxillary nerve block (SMN) and Greater Palatine nerve block (GPN) are regional blocks described for use during cleft palate (CP) repair surgery.The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic effect as well as the incidence of complications associated with the use of bilateral GPN and bilateral SMN blocks in children undergoing palatoplasty surgery.
131 studies on the registry are indexed under Cleft Palate; 36 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 40 is close to the median of 40 across 85 interventional studies indexed under Cleft Palate.

Exclusion Criteria:
administrated bilateral greater palatine nerve block using levobupivacaine 0.25%
Procedure: peripheral nerve block by 0.25% levobupivacaine
administrated bilateral suprazygomatic nerve block using levobupivacaine 0.25%.
Procedure: peripheral nerve block by 0.25% levobupivacaine
SUBMANDIBULAR nerve block will be performed using a 25G 90 mm beveled needle . the entry point of the needle will be situated at the angle formed by the superior edge of the zygomatic arch below and the posterior orbital rim forward .The needle will be inserted perpendicular to the skin and advanced approximately 20 mm depth to reach the greater wing of the sphenoid deep to the pterygopalatine fossa. Injection of 1ml of 0.25% levobupivacaine will be done over 20 seconds afterensuring negative blood aspiration .greater Palatine Nerve will be blocked bilaterally as it leaves on palatal side through the foramen on the opposite direction of the anterior part of the 3rd molar orthe posterior part of the 2nd molar tooth.
