Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Primary purpose is to study the duration of analgesia and intraoperative haemodynamics after addition of clonidine to scalp block with 0.25% bupivacaine. It is hypothetised that clonidine will prolong the duration of anaesthesia and provide stable intraoperative haemodynamics.
