Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of scalp nerve block on postcraniotomy analgesia in children: a randomized, controlled trial.
Effective postoperative pain management is critical for pediatric craniotomies. Scalp nerve block (SNB) interventions present a potential solution, yet their comparative benefits in preoperative and postoperative settings remain unclear. This study investigated the analgesic effects of SNB in pediatric craniotomy patients by comparing preoperative versus postoperative administration. ⋯ Compared with preoperative SNB or nonblocking, postoperative SNB significantly reduces postoperative sufentanil use within 24 h for pediatric patients undergoing craniotomy, highlighting its potential as an effective analgesic intervention in this population.
