NCT06499181

Brief Summary

A prospective, randomized clinical trial to determine if using liposomal bupivicaine in maxillary orthognathic procedures can reduce the post-operative use of opioids as well as improving the patient's quality of life, versus traditional bupivicaine alone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Differences in post-op opioid consumption between local Exparel infiltration and bupivacaine in maxillary orthognathic procedures.

    The primary objective is to examine differences in post-operative opioid consumption between the two groups

    Daily up to seven days post operative procedure.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Post-operative nausea and vomiting

    Daily up to seven days post operative procedure.

  • Post-operative sleeping quality.

    Daily up to seven days post operative procedure.

  • Post operative quality of life.

    Daily up to seven days post operative procedure.

  • Post operative oral function.

    Day of surgery and at seventh day post operative procedure.

  • Post operative swelling.

    Day of surgery and on post operative procedure day seven.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group Exparel

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental arm will be injected with 133mg (10cc) of liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) near to the incision site one time only at the completion of the procedure.

Drug: Liposomal bupivacaine

Control Group Bupivacaine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The control arm will be injected with 10cc of 0.5% bupivacaine (50 mg) with 1:50,000 epinephrine near to the incision site one time only at the completion of the procedure per standard procedure.

Drug: BupivacainDrug: Epinephrin

Masking Details
The control arm will be injected with 10cc of 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:50,000 epinephrine. The study arm will be injected with 133mg (10cc) of liposomal bupivacaine. Once the patient leaves the OR, the rest of the providers will be blinded to which arm the patient has been randomized. The identity will be linked to a key that will be kept in a locked box inside a keypad entry office. All future pain assessors will be blinded to the arm of the study in which the patient is attached. The patients will be taught about the surveys during the original evaluation, the consent process, and again post-operatively. An email will be sent to the patients on the following morning for the first 7 days post-operatively.
