NCT ID NCT07209345
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tests whether injecting a low-dose painkiller (flurbiprofen) and a numbing drug (ropivacaine) into the scalp before brain surgery can reduce the need for strong opioid pain medicine afterward. About 216 adults having craniotomy will take part. The goal is to see if this approach provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
