NCT ID NCT07431905
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether a nerve block called an erector spinae plane block can reduce pain and stress after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to receive the block or not, and their pain scores, painkiller use, and stress markers were compared. The goal is to improve recovery after weight-loss surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
erector spinae plane block (a nerve block injection)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a better way to manage pain after weight-loss surgery, reducing the need for strong painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study. The nerve block may not provide significant pain relief, and there are rare risks like infection or bleeding from the injection.
