Evaluation of Response to Pain From Skull Pin Fixation in Craniotomies

NCT06811701 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 120

Last updated 2026-02-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between the response to skull pin fixation pain and the analysis of blood pressure, heart rate, and brain wave activity in adults undergoing brain surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the analysis of blood pressure, heart rate, and brain wave activity indicate the patient's response to skull pin fixation pain during brain surgery? How do the methods used to reduce skull pin fixation pain in brain surgeries affect narcotic opioid consumption? The researchers will monitor the patients' response to skull pin fixation pain during surgery through the analysis of brain wave activity.

Conditions

  • Electroencephalography
  • Craniotomy Surgery
  • Pain Management

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Scalp nerve block

Patient in this group will receive a scalp nerve block using bupivacaine before skull pin fixation to manage to pain.

DRUG

Opioid Anesthetics

Patient in this group will receive IV opioid for pain management before skull pin fixation

PROCEDURE

Local Anesthetic Injection

"Patients in this group will receive a local anesthetic (such as lidocaine) injection at the pin site before skull pin fixation.
