Summary

This study compares two different times to give a scalp block—a numbing injection to the scalp—during brain tumor surgery. One group receives the block before the head is pinned in place, the other just before waking up. Researchers will measure recovery quality, pain, and heart rate changes in 60 adults aged 18 to 80 undergoing supratentorial tumor craniotomy.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose the best time for a scalp block to improve patient comfort and recovery after brain tumor surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The timing of the block may not significantly change recovery outcomes.
