This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether adding dexmedetomidine or ketamine to a numbing injection on your scalp during brain tumor surgery helps control pain better and keeps your vital signs more stable. You'll be randomly assigned to receive one of these two medications mixed with the scalp numbing agent. The study wants to find out which option works best for patients like you who are having this type of brain surgery.
Brain tumor surgery can cause significant pain and changes in heart rate and blood pressure during and after the operation. Doctors are trying to find the best medication to add to scalp numbing to improve both pain control and safety during these procedures.

You'll meet with the anesthesia team before your surgery to learn about pain rating scales. During surgery, you'll receive a scalp nerve block with one of the two study medications mixed in—you won't know which one. After surgery, the team will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and pain levels, and ask you to rate your pain at different time points to see how well the medication worked.
