Bilateral neck block for thyroid surgery
This study looks at whether a numbing injection on both sides of the neck (cervical plexus block) reduces the body's stress response during thyroid surgery. It uses saliva samples to measure stress. It may help you recover more smoothly after a total thyroidectomy.

This study tests whether a numbing injection in the neck can lower the body's stress response during thyroid removal surgery. It may help you recover more comfortably after the operation.
This study tests whether a special numbing technique (nerve block) given during thyroid removal surgery can reduce your body's stress response and help you recover better. Researchers will measure how well this approach works compared to standard care.
This study compares two types of anesthesia used during thyroid surgery to see how they affect inflammation and amino acid metabolism in the body. The results may help improve recovery after surgery.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in the neck to see which one provides better pain relief during and after thyroid surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve comfort for patients undergoing total thyroidectomy.
This study compares two doses of a numbing medicine injected near the nerves in your neck before thyroid surgery. The goal is to see if a lower dose provides enough pain relief with fewer side effects, such as affecting your breathing.
This study compares two ways of managing pain after total thyroidectomy (surgery to remove the entire thyroid gland) to see which gives better pain relief and a smoother recovery. If you are having this surgery under general anesthesia, participating may help improve your comfort and return to normal life faster.
