    Carbamazepine (CBZ) significantly reduces postoperative pain in patients undergoing surgery for tentorial meningiomas.

  • 2

    Patients treated with CBZ reported lower pain scores on postoperative days 2 and 7 compared to those receiving standard analgesics.

  • 3

    The CBZ group demonstrated decreased analgesic consumption, particularly for opioids, from 96 hours post-surgery to discharge.

  • 4

    Although the CBZ group had shorter hospital stays and lower costs, these differences were not statistically significant.

  • 5

    The findings support the use of CBZ as an effective adjunct in multimodal pain management strategies for tentorial meningioma patients.
