Scalp block may steady brain monitor during skull surgery
NCT ID NCT06984653
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study observed 88 patients having brain surgery to see if a scalp block (numbing the scalp) affects the bispectral index (BIS), a monitor that tracks how deep the anesthesia is. Researchers checked BIS values and vital signs during skull pinning, a painful step. The goal was to learn whether the block helps keep anesthesia readings stable.
