Study of the Efficacy of Local Analgesia as an Adjunct to General Anesthesia in Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Thyroid Neoplasms, Goiter, Nodular, Thyroid Nodule, Graves' Disease, Hyperparathyroidism

In brief

We aim to study the effect of local anesthetic when used in conjunction with general anesthesia during thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. We hypothesize there is equivalent pain control between bilateral superficial cervical plexus block and local wound infiltration when used in conjunction with a general anesthetic.
