First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study tests whether injecting a low dose of two pain medicines (flurbiprofen and ropivacaine) into the scalp before brain surgery can reduce pain and the need for stronger opioids afterward. About 216 adults having planned brain surgery will take part. The goal is to see if this approach provides safer, targeted pain relief with fewer side effects.
