| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative Pain Opioid Use | Procedure: SZaMN Block | Not Applicable |
Patients between 6 months and 18 years undergoing T&A surgical procedures will be reviewed for potential study enrollment. If participants agree to participate, they will be randomized into either the suprazygomatic maxillary nerve (SZaMN) block treatment cohort or the control cohort i.e standard of care.
After anesthesia induction, patients randomized into the SZaMN- treatment group will receive a bilateral single injection SZaMN block under general anesthesia in the operating room. The injection will occur near the temples above the cheek bones.
Participants enrolled into the control group will receive standard of care with no changes to their anesthetic or surgical care. Both groups will be asked for their verbal pain scores in the PACU and we will track their opioid consumption throughout the next few days after their procedure.

Experimental: SZaMN Treatment Group
Patients randomized into the SZaMN-treatment group will receive a bilateral single injection SZaMN block under general anesthesia in the operating room. The injection will occur through the pterygomaxillary fissure into the pterygomaxillary fossa. Patients will receive 5 ml of local anesthestic per side.
