Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this study is to assess the outcomes of an anesthetic technique which is not synthetic opioid based, on postoperative pain modulation and development of post craniotomy headache against a cohort of patients where an opioid based standard anesthetic technique was used for craniotomy. The hypothesis that is tested is that the use of agents other than synthetic short acting opioids will reduce the amount of postoperative pain and the incidence of headache after surgery.
