Numbing medicine for pain relief after brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
