First seen Feb 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests whether a numbing injection in the neck (bilateral superficial cervical plexus block) plus local wound numbing can lower pain, nausea, and the need for strong painkillers after thyroid surgery. About 74 adults having a partial or total thyroid removal will take part. Half will get the active block, half a placebo, and neither they nor their doctors will know which they received.
