Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical features and the management of incision of scalp pain after craniotomy. Methods 129 patients after craniotomy without postoperative neuralgia were involved. The onset, severity, and characteristics of the pain were recorded within 1 week after the craniotomy. Patients with moderate-severe pain were given oxycodone and acetaminophen (treatment group) or rotundine (control) for 3 d. Results 39.5%（51/129）of patients experienced moderate to severe postoperative pain. After treatment, 76.9% （20/26） in treatment group and 36.0% （9/25） in control were released from the pain (P<0.01). The pain intensity differences and sum of pain intensity differences were more in treatment than in control (P<0.01). Conclusion Incision of scalp pain is common after craniotomy. Oxycodone and acetaminophen, called multimodal analgesia is efficacious and safe for it.
