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.
This trial is testing a numbing medicine placed near the spine (erector spinae block) during lumbar spine fusion surgery. It aims to see if it helps control pain and may reduce the amount of anesthetic needed during the procedure.
This trial tests a way to manage pain after brain surgery without using sedative medications. It aims to keep you calm and comfortable using pain medicine alone, which might help you recover more clearly.
This trial tests whether avoiding opioid painkillers during anesthesia for brain tumor removal can be safe and effective. It may help patients recover with fewer side effects.
This trial tests if a newer painkiller (oliceridine) causes less nausea after a specific type of brain surgery than the standard painkiller (sufentanil). If you are having CPA region surgery and will receive a patient-controlled pain pump, this study may help find a better option for managing pain with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether numbing the scalp with ultrasound guidance before brain surgery reduces the need for opioid painkillers afterward and helps with inflammation and vital signs. If successful, it could offer patients a safer pain-control option.
