Clinical Trial: Comparison of Systemic Opioid (Morphine) and Pre-Incision Bilateral Scalp Nerve Block for Pain Management in Craniotomy Patients

U.S., Feb. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07425678) titled 'Comparison of Systemic Opioid (Morphine) and Pre-Incision Bilateral Scalp Nerve Block for Pain Management in Craniotomy Patients' on Jan. 30.

Brief Summary: The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of systemic opioids versus pre-incision bilateral scalp nerve block in managing intraoperative noxious stimuli and postoperative pain in adult patients (18-75 years) undergoing elective supratentorial craniotomy.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Does pre-incision bilateral scalp nerve block provide better intraoperative hemodynamic stability compared to systemic opioids?
