Prilocaine for pain block during pituitary tumor removal
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether injecting prilocaine near a nerve cluster in the nose can reduce pain during surgery to remove a pituitary tumor. If you are having this type of surgery and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 45 years old.
- You have a pituitary tumor and are scheduled for endoscopic hypophysectomy (nose surgery to remove the tumor).
- You are in good health overall (ASA physical status I or II, meaning no serious medical conditions).
- You are not on blood thinners or NSAID pain relievers (like ibuprofen or aspirin).
- You do not have liver or kidney disease, bleeding problems, uncontrolled blood pressure or heart rate, or increased brain pressure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether blocking a specific nerve in the face (sphenopalatine ganglion) during pituitary tumor surgery improves the surgeon's view and reduces bleeding. Pituitary adenomas are non-cancerous tumors in the brain that are removed through the nose using a camera.
This study tests a nerve block (called sphenopalatine ganglion block) for pain relief after pituitary tumor surgery through the nose. It aims to see if this block helps manage pain and reduces the need for other pain medicines.
This trial tests whether numbing a specific nerve bundle inside the nose can relieve headaches in people who have had bleeding around the brain. It is for those still in pain after standard painkillers.
This study tests whether numbing a nerve inside the nose (called a sphenopalatine ganglion block) on both sides can reduce pain after septoplasty, a surgery to straighten the cartilage and bone inside the nose. If you're having this surgery, the treatment might help you feel less pain afterward.
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 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.
