Summary

This study tests whether a single injection of a long-acting numbing drug (liposomal bupivacaine) into the scalp can provide better pain relief after brain surgery than the standard numbing drug. About 118 adults having elective brain surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the new or standard drug. The goal is to see if the new drug reduces pain and the need for strong painkillers for up to 72 hours after surgery.
