Enhanced Recovery After Uvulopalatoplasty

Active, Not Recruiting
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
Obstructive sleep apnea is a prevalent condition often treated surgically with palatoplasty, which improves airway patency and reduces apneic events. However, postoperative pain and airway discomfort following palatoplasty can be significant, leading to delayed oral intake, increased opioid consumption, and prolonged recovery. Combining an ultrasound-guided glossopharyngeal nerve block with topical airway anesthesia may provide synergistic analgesia and support a safer recovery profile.
