First seen Jun 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether injecting lidocaine, a numbing medicine, at two different strengths (0.5% vs 1%) could reduce pain from the head holder used during brain surgery. 75 patients were split into two groups and received the injection before surgery. Researchers then compared their pain levels and how much extra painkiller they needed in the first 24 hours after surgery.
