Summary

This study tested whether a nerve block called the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can reduce pain and stress after sleeve gastrectomy, a type of weight-loss surgery. Sixty adults with obesity were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard painkillers or standard painkillers alone. Researchers measured pain scores, opioid use, and stress markers in the blood to see if the block improved recovery.
