Summary
This study tested whether a numbing injection (nerve block) given before thyroid surgery could lower pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers. Forty adults having their thyroid removed under general anesthesia took part. Half received the nerve block plus standard care, the other half only standard care. Researchers measured pain scores and how much opioid medication was needed after surgery.
