Settings and conduct
-
This study is a randomized clinical trial. The target population is candidates for elective posterior cervical fusion surgery who referred to Al-Zahra Hospital in 1402. We have three groups, in which in addition to general anesthesia, in one group, bupivacaine and dexamethasone are administered as local injections in the pin-site area, and in the other group, scalp block with the same drugs is performed in 4 areas, and the third group is only under general anesthesia. Patients and people involved in data collection and analysis are not aware of the type of intervention.

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria:
Candidate patients for posterior cervical fusion surgery; Age 18 to 65 years; Completing the informed consent form; American Society of Anesthesiologists I, II
Exclusion criteria:
Previous incision and previous history of neck surgery; Allergy to local anesthetic; Drug or alcohol addiction
-
Intervention groups
-
In the first group or group R, a mixture of bupivacaine and dexamethasone is injected bilaterally in 4 areas equally. In the second group or group P, the same amount of bupivacaine and dexamethasone are injected bilaterally at the pinning site. The third group is only under general anesthesia.
