First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a nerve block given before thyroid surgery can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers. Forty adults having thyroidectomy were split into two groups: one received the nerve block plus general anesthesia, the other only general anesthesia. Researchers measured pain scores and opioid use after surgery to see if the block helped.
