Investigating intravascular injection during trigeminal nerve blocks

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the incidence of intravascular injection that occurs during trigeminal nerve blocks. Patients scheduled for these procedures will be randomized into two groups based on the type of needle used: the tuohy needle group and the quincke needle group. The study will monitor and record any instances of intravascular injection during the nerve block procedures. This research could provide valuable insights into the safety and efficacy of different needle techniques in managing facial pain.
