Scalp injection to reduce pain after brain surgery in children
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if injecting a mix of two medicines (triamcinolone and ropivacaine) into the scalp before brain surgery can lower pain in children afterward. It compares this to standard care to see if it helps kids recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a combination of pain-relief methods given before, during, and after brain surgery to see if they better control pain and help you recover with fewer side effects. It's for adults having surgery to remove a brain tumor.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
This study tests whether a numbing injection around the scalp before brain surgery can reduce the need for strong painkillers and help you recover more comfortably. It may also help keep your heart rate and blood pressure stable during the operation.
This study tests whether a numbing injection around the scalp (called a scalp block) before brain surgery can reduce pain after the operation. It might help you have a smoother recovery with less discomfort.
