Numbing the scalp: a gentler path to pain relief after brain surgery?

NCT ID NCT07425678

Summary

This study compared two methods for managing pain during and after brain surgery to remove tumors. It tested whether numbing the scalp with a local anesthetic nerve block works better than standard opioid painkillers. Researchers looked at which method kept patients' heart rate and blood pressure more stable during surgery and provided better pain relief with fewer side effects in the first day after the operation.
