In this study; it's aimed to reduce injection pain during the practice of scalp block, which
      is used as a method of anesthesia in patients who underwent awake craniotomy surgery. For
      this purpose, the investigators used topical vibration stimulation, which is non-invasive
      procedure.

The Effect of Topical Vibration on Injection Pain in Scalp Block

Analgesia

Scalp block is an analgesia technique frequently used in neurosurgical procedures. In this
      block, while providing adequate anesthesia for surgery, it also helps to preserve
      hemodynamics by inhibiting pain sensation. In this block, there is a certain degree of pain
      due to multiple injections. The transmission of pain sensation to the cortex is reduced by
      costimulating the receptors that transmit the pain sensation with vibration stimulus. In this
      study; it was aimed to investigate the effect of topical vibration on injection pain in
      participants who received sedoanalgesia with dexmedetomidine in bilateral scalp block
      practice.

      In routine clinical practice, bilateral scalp block (local anesthetic injection into greater
      occipital, lesser occipital, supratrochlear, supraorbital, auriculotemporal,
      zygomaticotemporal nerves) is performed in participants who is sedated. While local
      anesthetic is injecting, vibration device (Aprilla brand, giving 6000 vibrations per minute)
      will be vibrated for 10 seconds and then local anesthetic will be injected. Meanwhile,
      participants' numerical pain scores (NRS) and hemodynamic parameters will be monitored.

      In this study, the NRS scores and hemodynamic variables of the participants will be compared
      during the local anesthetic application of each 6 nerves bilaterally and during the
      injections of the nerves with and without the use of vibration.

For all patients one half of the scalp was injected with vibration device.

Same patient's other side of the scalp was injected without vibration device.
