U.S., Nov. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07236086) titled 'Evaluating the Analgesic Efficacy of Superficial Cervical Plexus Block for Maxillofacial Surgeries' on Sept. 28.

Brief Summary: The superficial cervical plexus (SCP) originates from the anterior rami of C1-C4 and gives four cutaneous branches supplying the anterolateral neck, external ear, and shoulder tip (1). A superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) is performed by subcutaneous injection at the midpoint of the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid, targeting these sensory branches using either landmarks or ultrasound guidance.
