ERECTOR SPINAE PLANE BLOCK

This study tested two pain-relief methods after breast removal surgery: a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) versus numbing medicine injected into the wound. 37 adults participated. The main goal was to see how much morphine patients needed in the first day after surgery. R…

This study looked at three ways to control pain after major lung surgery done with a camera (VATS). It compared a newer nerve block called erector spinae plane block (ESPB) with two older methods: spinal morphine and intercostal nerve block. The goal was to see which method worke…

This study tested two different nerve blocks to see which one controls pain better after laparoscopic belly surgery in children aged 2 to 7. Fifty kids were randomly assigned to receive either an erector spinae plane block or a modified thoracoabdominal nerve block. The main goal…

This study looked at whether a nerve block called the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can help manage pain after robotic colorectal surgery. 70 adults having surgery for cancer were included. The goal was to see if the block reduces the need for painkillers and improves recover…

This study tested two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—erector spinae plane block and thoracic paravertebral block—to see which provides better pain relief and faster recovery after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Thirty adults aged 21–60 participated. The main goal was to measure…

This study looked at 60 children aged 2 to 7 having lower abdominal surgery to see which pain block works better: an erector spinae block or a caudal block. Both are numbing injections given before surgery to reduce pain. The researchers measured pain using a special scale and tr…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks to control pain right after thyroid surgery. Forty adults received either a cervical erector spinae plane block or a cervical plexus block. Researchers measured how much morphine patients needed and how long it took to ask for pain reli…

This study tested three different nerve blocks to control pain after video-assisted chest surgery. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to receive one of the blocks. Researchers measured how long it took for patients to need extra pain medicine and how much they used. The goal was…

This study looked at two methods to help people recover from back surgery: a nerve block (ESPB) and a mix of pain medicines including ketamine. 62 adults having lumbar decompression surgery took part. The goal was to see which approach leads to a better recovery and less pain.

This study looked at whether giving a nerve block (ESPB) before lumbar spine surgery reduces the amount of painkiller (remifentanil) needed during the operation, compared to giving the block after surgery. Sixty adults having elective lumbar disc surgery took part. The goal was t…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks (retrolaminar and erector spinae plane) to manage pain without opioids after lumbar disc surgery. 90 adults undergoing back surgery received one of the two blocks. The goal was to see which block delays the need for pain medicine and sp…

This study tested whether adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) in a nerve block could provide longer pain relief after total hip replacement. 66 adults having hip surgery received one of the two combinations. Researchers measured …

This study tested three different nerve blocks to control pain after a type of chest surgery called thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to receive one of the blocks. Researchers measured how long it took for patients to need extra pain medicine and ho…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks—erector spinae plane block and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block—to see which better reduces opioid painkiller use after breast and armpit surgery. Sixty adults aged 18-80 took part. The goal was to find a safer way …

This study tested whether a special nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after weight-loss surgery in super obese patients (BMI over 50). Sixty adults received either the nerve block or standard local pain medicine. The goal…

This study tested whether a special nerve block (erector spinae plane block) given before major back surgery can reduce pain and blood loss during and after the operation. 120 adults having spinal stabilization surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or s…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after cancer surgery on the upper belly. 70 adults received either an erector spinae plane block or an external oblique intercostal plane block. The goal was to see which one reduces the need for morphine and other pain m…

This study tested a nerve block called ESPB to see if it reduces pain after breast cancer surgery with implant reconstruction. 100 adults having this surgery received either the block or standard care. The goal was to measure pain levels and recovery quality in the first day afte…

This study tested a special nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to reduce the need for strong painkillers after spine surgery in 30 children with spastic cerebral palsy. The goal was to see if the block could control pain effectively while lowering morphine use. Results are …

This study tested two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—edge of laminar block (ELB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB)—for pain after video-assisted chest surgery. 70 adults were randomly assigned to one block. The goal was to see which block reduces the need for morphine and del…

This study tested whether a nerve block called erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can improve pain control and recovery after open-heart surgery. 66 adults were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard intravenous painkillers. Researchers measured pain score…

This study looked at how body mass index (BMI) influences pain levels after lumbar disc surgery when a nerve block is used for pain control. Researchers measured pain in 75 adults at different times after surgery. The goal was to see if higher BMI leads to more pain, which could …
