Arm Description

Surgeons will be asked to mark the planned incisions site 3 days before craniotomy. The masked Lidocaine 5% patch will be applied to cover the insicion mark as well as the head-holders sites within 6:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M. for 3 consecutive preoperative days.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pain intensity
Pain intensity will be examined using the 0 - 100 mm visual analogue scale scores, where '0' represents 'no pain' ,and '100' represents 'the most severe pain'.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pain intensity
Pain intensity will be examined using the 0 - 100 mm visual analogue scale scores, where '0' represents 'no pain' ,and '100' represents 'the most severe pain'.
Time interval to analgesics
Time interval from the end of craniotomy to the first press of the PCA device and to the first rescue analgesic administration
Cumulative butorphanol
he cumulative butorphanol consumption through the PCA device
Cumulative intraoperative analgesics consumption
Cumulative intraoperative opioids consumption
Length of hospital stay
Time length from admission to leaving the hospital

Rate of patients with local adverse event as graded using NCI-CTCAE V4.0
Lidocaine 5% plaster safety (systemic)
Rate of patients with systemic adverse event as graded using NCI-CTCAE V4.0
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) contains 19 self-rated questions which measures seven aspects of sleep: (1) subjective sleep quality, (2) sleep latency, (3) sleep duration, (4) habitual sleep efficiency, (5) sleep disturbances, (6) use of sleeping medication, and (7) daytime dysfunction. The 19 self-rated items are combined to form seven component scores, each of which has a range of 0-3 points (0 indicates no difficulty, while 3 indicates severe difficulty). The seven component scores are then summed to yield one global score, with a range of 0-21 points (0 indicating no difficulty, and 21 indicating severe difficulties in all the seven areas of sleep quality).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Postcraniotomy pain remains a common phenomenon in the neurosurgery field. Managements for postcraniotomy pain are to be standardised and optimized. In the proposed study, the investigators aim to provide a novel regional non-invasive prophylactic strategy for postcraniotomy pain by utilizing Lidocaine 5% plaster.
Detailed Description
Postcraniotomy pain remains a common phenomenon in the neurosurgery field. Insufficient control of postcraniotomy pain may lead to unexpected clinical outcomes. The current management for postcraniotomy pain mainly involves systemic intravenous or oral medication and regional anaesthetic injection. The investigators intend to compare pre-emptive lidocaine 5% plaster incision covering to a placebo for prophylaxis of postcraniotomy pain. In the proposed study, the effectiveness and safety of lidocaine 5% plaster for postcraniotomy pain control will be examined compared with those of placebo. The investigators aim to provide a novel regional non-invasive prophylactic strategy for postcraniotomy pain.
