Which anesthetic wins the battle against Post-Surgery neck pain?
NCT ID NCT07779551
First seen Aug 21, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026
Summary
This trial asks whether bupivacaine or ropivacaine provides better pain relief after thyroid surgery. Adults aged 20-40 scheduled for a total thyroidectomy will receive one of the two anesthetics as a nerve block in the neck. Researchers will measure pain levels, how long until patients need extra painkillers, and any complications. The goal is to find which option offers smoother, more comfortable recovery.
