This trial tests whether injecting or instilling bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) into the wound after thyroid surgery works better to reduce pain. It may help you have less pain after surgery.
This study compares two doses of a numbing medicine injected near the nerves in your neck before thyroid surgery. The goal is to see if a lower dose provides enough pain relief with fewer side effects, such as affecting your breathing.
This study compares different ways to manage pain after thyroid removal surgery. It aims to find which method works best for recovery.
This study tests whether giving a continuous lidocaine drip during open thyroid surgery can improve pain control and recovery. Lidocaine is a numbing medicine, and researchers want to see if it helps without interfering with the nerve monitor used during surgery.
This study compares two medications, bupivacaine and ropivacaine, given as a neck block before thyroid surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. It may help reduce post-surgery discomfort.
This study tests if adding nalbuphine to the numbing medicine (bupivacaine) given as a nerve block before thyroid surgery provides better pain relief. It is for adults having planned thyroid surgery.
