Brief Summary   Sphenopalatine ganglion block is a procedure used to treat various head and facial pain conditions, including migraines, cluster headaches, and facial neuralgia.Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block in cleft palate surgery suggests it can effectively reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption, potentially improving recovery outcomes. Studies highlight its role in providing targeted analgesia while minimizing systemic side effects. Additionally, SPG block may contribute to enhanced patient satisfaction and faster postoperative mobilization.
