Ultrasound-guided auricularis magnus nerve block to reduce pain after middle ear surgery

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

Middle ear surgery is common in ENT and can provoke sympathetic responses that raise blood pressure and heart rate, increasing the risk of hemorrhage and impairing the surgical field. This interventional trial applies an ultrasound-guided auricularis magnus nerve block perioperatively and compares outcomes to a control group. The protocol uses a small, targeted local anesthetic injection under ultrasound visualization to improve analgesia and limit side effects. Primary outcomes include postoperative pain scores and intraoperative hemodynamic/bleeding measures in adults undergoing elective canal-wall-down mastoidectomy or related procedures.
