About
Parisa Partownavid is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of anesthesiology, pain management, and head and neck surgical oncology. Her key research areas include regional anesthesia techniques for postoperative pain control, particularly in complex surgical populations. Her most notable contribution is the pioneering investigation of stellate ganglion blockade (SGB) as an adjunct for acute pain management following transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal carcinoma. This work addresses a critical clinical challenge—severe pharyngeal surgical site pain—by exploring a novel application of a well-known sympathetic block. While her most-cited paper is recent (2025) and currently has 1 citation, it represents an important proof-of-concept study that may shape future perioperative protocols for TORS patients. Partownavid’s research demonstrates a commitment to improving patient recovery through innovative, targeted analgesic strategies, bridging the gap between regional anesthesia and advanced minimally invasive surgery. Her work is particularly relevant for anesthesiologists, pain specialists, and head and neck surgeons seeking to optimize multimodal pain management in this vulnerable patient population.
