Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparing the effect of adding rocuronium and nitroglycerin to ropivacaine in reducing pain and hemodynamic changes in intravenous local anesthesia

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients will be allocated into2 groups using a permuted balanced block randomization method with the size of blocks 4. Random sequence will be generated by an epidemiologist by running an online program in sealed envelope website (https://www.sealedenvelope.com/). Random chain concealment is done by opaque envelope method.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Interventional drugs will be prescribed by an anesthesiologist, but the Bear Block technique and checking the effects and recording data will be done by a specialist assistant who is not aware of the groupings. In this way, due to the lack of knowledge of the patient and the results evaluator about the order of the groups and interventions, the study will be double-blind.
