This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in the neck to see which one provides better pain relief during and after thyroid surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve comfort for patients undergoing total thyroidectomy.
This study compares two ways of giving a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) around the wound after thyroid surgery to see which is better at reducing pain after the operation. It aims to find a simple, effective way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
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 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 whether a special numbing technique (nerve block) given during thyroid removal surgery can reduce your body's stress response and help you recover better. Researchers will measure how well this approach works compared to standard care.
