Sphenopalatine ganglion block: Intranasal transmucosal approach for anterior scalp blockade - A prospective randomized comparative study

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2020
Background and Aims: Peripheral nerve blocks in neurosurgical practice attenuate most stressful responses like pin insertion, skin, and dural incision. Scalp block is conventionally the blockade of choice. Further studies for less invasive techniques are

Comparison of Dexmedetomidine-bupivacaine Combination versus Bupivacaine Alone for Scalp Block in Attenuating the Haemodynamic Response to Skull Pin Placement during Neurosurgical Procedures: A Randomised Controlled Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Introduction: Skull pin placement in neurosurgical procedures can cause acute nociceptive stimuli that may result in an acute haemodynamic response and rise in intracranial pressures. Pain management is crucial to treat this detrimental stimulus.

Use of in vitro human keratinocyte models to study the effect of cooling on chemotherapy drug-induced cytotoxicity [PDF]

, 2014
A highly distressing side-effect of cancer chemotherapy is chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). Scalp cooling remains the only treatment for CIA, yet there is no experimental evidence to support the cytoprotective capacity of cooling. We have established

A prospective, comparative, randomised, double blind study on the efficacy of addition of clonidine to 0.25% bupivacaine in scalp block for supratentorial craniotomies

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2016
Background and Aims: Scalp blocks combined with general anaesthesia reduce pin and incision response, along with providing stable perioperative haemodynamics and analgesia. Clonidine has proved to be a valuable additive in infiltrative blocks. We studied
