Postoperative pain is one of the most important morbidities in the recovery process after thyroidectomy. Since pain is a common and unpleasant complication after thyroidectomy, therefore postoperative pain management is a moral and professional duty of the therapist especially for patients and anaesthesiologists. Postoperative pain control has a proven role in improving the prognosis of surgery and preventing unwanted complications such as cardiovascular problems, blood clotting, elevated blood sugar and coagulation disorders [1,2]. In many cases after thyroidectomy, patients complain of chronic pain in the lateral areas of the neck on the same side of the surgery and at site of skin incision, requiring medical interventions [3]. According to previous studies, blocking of superficial cervical plexus can reduce post- thyroidectomy pain [2,3]. Kalmovich., et al. performed a study about post-thyroidectomy pain.
