First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving a scalp nerve block before the surgeon makes the first cut (instead of after) can lower pain and the amount of strong painkillers needed during and after brain surgery. About 64 adults having craniotomy will be randomly assigned to one of two timing groups. The goal is to find a simple way to improve recovery and reduce opioid use.
