Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Analgesic effect of bilateral superficial cervical plexus block in postoperative neck surgeries	within the first 24 hours postoperatively	To assess the analgesic efficacy of bilateral superficial cervical plexus block on postoperative pain following neck surgery, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS; 0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain) at 1, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Total opioid consumption	within the first 24 hours postoperatively	To assess the total opioid consumption within the first 24 hours postoperatively and the time to first analgesic request.
