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.
