Scalp shot before brain surgery cuts opioid need?
NCT ID NCT07209345
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether injecting a low dose of two painkillers (flurbiprofen and ropivacaine) into the scalp before brain surgery can reduce pain and the need for strong opioids afterward. About 216 adults having a craniotomy will take part. The goal is to see if this local approach provides effective pain relief with fewer side effects.
