A majority of patients would suffer from moderate-to-severe postoperative pain after undergoing craniotomy. As a result, adequate pain control is essential for patients' prognosis and their postoperative life quality. Although opioids administration is regarded as the first-line analgesic for post-craniotomy pain management, it may be associated with delayed awakening, respiratory depression, hypercarbia and it may interfere with the neurologic examination. For the avoidance of side-effects of systemic opioids, local anesthetics administered around the incision have been performed clinically. However, some studies revealed that the analgesic effect of local anesthetics was not unsatisfactory due to its short pain relief duration. As is reported that postoperative pain of craniotomy is mainly caused by skin incision and reflection of muscles, preventing the liberation of inflammatory mediators around the incision seems to be more effective than simply blocking nerve conduction. Thus, Investigators suppose that pre-emptive scalp infiltration with steroid (dexamethasone) plus local anesthetic (ropivacaine) could relieve postoperative pain after craniotomy in adults.

Primary | Cumulative sufentanil consumption within 48 hours postoperatively | All participates will receive an electronic intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device in which the bolus dose of sufentanil will be set as 2 µg with a lockout interval of 10 min and the maximum dose will be limited as 8 µg per hour. If the participates feel inadequate analgesia after 5 times of sufentanil bolus, the bolus dose will be increased to 3 µg and the maximum dose will be increased to 12 µg per hour. | Within 48 hours after the operation | |
Secondary | The number of participants who have no sufentanil consumption | The number of participants who have not pushed the button of patient-controlled analgesia pump. Both of the initial dose and background infusion of the patient-controlled analgesia pump in this study will be set as 0.

Secondary | The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF | Quality of life will be measured using the World Health Organisation QoL-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. The WHOQOL-BREF is a abbreviated version of the WHOQOL-100 assessment. WHOQOL-BREF is a self-report questionnaire that contains 26 items and addresses 4 QOL domains: physical health (7 items), psychological health (6 items), social relationships (3 items) and environment (8 items). Two other items measure overall QOL and general health. Each domain's mean score can range between 4 and 20 and a higher score indicates a higher quality of life. The mean score of items within each domain is used to calculate the domain score. A transformation method converts domain scores to a 0-100 scale. | At 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after surgery | |
Secondary | Incisional related adverse events Incisional related adverse events | Including delayed incisional healing, incisional infection, intracranial infection, scar healing | Within 1 month after surgery | |

At 3 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery | |
Secondary | Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale | The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale includes subjective symptoms of pain and pruritus and consists of 2 numerical numeric scales: The Patient Scar Assessment Scale and the Observer Scar Assessment Scale. It assesses vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, surface area and overall opinion for a scar on a score of 1 (normal skin) to 10 (worst scar imaginable). and it incorporates patient assessments of pain, itching, color, stiffness, thickness, relief and overall opinion. Participants were asked to rate the severity of their scar compared to normal skin. The overall opinion scale score ranged from 1 (normal skin) to 10 (very different from normal skin). | At 6 months after surgery |
