Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

ropivacaine

saline

Arm Description

After anesthesia induction but before skull-pin insertion, patients in this group will receive scalp nerve blocks with 0.5% ropivacaine

After anesthesia induction but before skull-pin insertion, patients in this group will receive scalp nerve blocks with 0.9% saline

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

KPS score
Karnofsky performance score (KPS) allows patients to be classified as to their functional impairment. The total scale range is 0-100. The lower the KPS score, the worse the survival for most serious illnesses.

Secondary Outcome Measures

KPS score
Karnofsky performance score (KPS) allows patients to be classified as to their functional impairment. The total scale range is 0-100. The lower the KPS score, the worse the survival for most serious illnesses.
serum TNF-α levels
an inflammatory mediator that reflects systemic inflammation
serum IL-6 levels
an inflammatory mediator that reflects systemic inflammation
serum IL-1β levels
an inflammatory mediator that reflects systemic inflammation
Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale (ISAS)
Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale (ISAS) comprises of 11 items to measure patient satisfaction after surgery. The total scale range is -33-+33. The higher the ISAS score, the better the satisfaction level.
white blood cell
serum white blood cell count
serum levels of CRP
inflammatory responses
VAS score
The visual analogue scale or visual analog scale (VAS) measures the average intensity of pain in the past on a 0-to-10 scale, where 0 = No pain and 10 = Pain as intense as you can imagine.
pain-relief medications
amounts of pain-relief medications
Hospitalization Days
length of hospitalization
out of pocket expenditure for hospitalisation
This reflects how much money the patient spends during hospitalisation
complications
incidence of intracranial infection

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Patients undergoing elective meningeoma resection surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the following two groups. After anesthesia induction but before skull-pin insertion, one group will receive scalp nerve blocks with 0.5% ropivacaine, whereas the other group will receive scalp nerve blocks with 0.9% saline. The patients' postoperative recovery quality, which is evaluated by KPS score, peri-operative inflammatory responses, and post-operative pain degree will be evaluated and compared between the two groups.
Detailed Description
Patients undergoing elective meningeoma resection surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the following two groups. After anesthesia induction but before skull-pin insertion, one group will receive scalp nerve blocks with 0.5% ropivacaine, whereas the other group will receive scalp nerve blocks with 0.9% saline. The patients' KPS scores at 3d after surgery and at discharge, serum levels of TNF-α、IL-6,IL-1β at 24h after surgery, satisfaction score after recovery, and VAS scores at 1, 2, 3 days post-surgery will be evaluated and compared between the two groups.
