Pain relief without opioids for thyroid surgery
Treatments studied
This study compares two ways to manage pain during and after thyroid surgery: one uses opioid painkillers, the other uses non-opioid medicines. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids can still provide good pain control and fewer side effects.
