Scalp nerve block for pain after brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine (bupivacaine liposomes) injected into scalp nerves can reduce pain after brain surgery. It may help you need less pain medicine and feel better after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Having planned (not emergency) brain surgery
- Able to understand and rate your pain on a 0-10 scale
- No allergies to the numbing medicines or painkillers used

This trial tests a long-lasting numbing medicine injected near the back muscles to reduce pain after open surgery on the liver, stomach, or pancreas. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether a numbing injection around the scalp (called a scalp block) can help keep your blood pressure and heart rate stable during brain surgery and reduce pain after surgery. It is for people having a planned craniotomy (surgery that opens the skull) on the upper part of the brain.
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.
This trial tests whether injecting a long-acting numbing medicine near the surgery site can reduce pain after brain surgery for nerve compression. If it works, patients may have less pain and need fewer painkillers after the procedure.
This study compares two ways of numbing the scalp before brain surgery to see which one reduces pain better after the operation. It aims to help children recover more comfortably.
