Pain Control After Craniotomy Surgery with Methadone or Remifentanil
This study is looking at ways to manage pain and improve recovery after brain surgery (craniotomy). Many patients experience moderate to severe pain after this type of surgery, which can lead to complications. This study compares two pain medications given through a vein (intravenous): Remifentanil and Methadone. Researchers want to see if Methadone, which has a longer-lasting pain-relieving effect, can improve your recovery in the first few days after surgery. They will measure your quality of recovery using a special questionnaire. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 65 years old, are having a specific type of brain surgery, and meet other health criteria. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 40 participants.

What this trial measures
- Quality of recovery after surgery on postoperative day 1,2,3 using QoR-15 psychometrical questionnaire (range 0-150).24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours
The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) scale is a patient-reported outcome measurement of the quality of recovery after surgery and anesthesia. The scale ranges from 0 to 150, with a higher score indicating a better quality of recovery. A score of 0 indicates extremely poor quality of recovery, while a score of 150 indicates excellent quality of recovery. The QoR-15 score can be classified into four severity classes: excellent, good, moderate, and poor recovery.
