Abstract:During the procedure, a mean VAS of 1 and 3 was observed in groups I and II, respectively, during the procedure (p-value 0.023). A mean VAS of 3 and 5 was observed in groups I and II, respectively, after three hours (p-value 0.000). This shows a significant difference in the pain experienced by the subjects between the groups.
ConclusionThis study proves that the zygomaticotemporal nerve, used along with supratrochlear and supraorbital nerve blocks, is better at producing analgesia and reducing pain.
