A Randomized Control Trial Comparing Bilateral Superficial Cervical Plexus Block and Local Wound Infiltration in Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Superficial Cervical Plexus Block, Local Wound Infiltration, and 2 other interventions for Thyroid Neoplasms and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.

Interventions
0.25% Marcaine is injected lateral to the sternocleidomastoid bilaterally (10mL on each side) after induction of anesthesia and prior to incision and scheduled thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy.
0.50% Marcaine is injected at the site of incision (10mL) after induction of anesthesia and prior to incision and scheduled thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy.
