NCT ID NCT07545655
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving a numbing shot to the scalp before brain surgery (using a head clamp) can lower the amount of strong painkillers needed, keep blood pressure more stable, and reduce inflammation. About 60 adults having planned brain surgery will take part. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce side effects from pain medications.
