Nerve block may help septic Patients' organs recover
NCT ID NCT05623722
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can improve organ function in septic patients who also have acute gut injury. The block uses a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) delivered near the spine. Researchers will measure organ failure scores in 116 ICU adults over 7 days. If successful, it could become a supportive therapy for sepsis-related organ damage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Ropivacaine (a numbing medicine) given as a nerve block
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to help septic patients with gut injury recover organ function faster in the ICU.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (116 people) and the nerve block is an add-on to standard care. The results may not apply to all sepsis patients, and there are risks like bleeding or infection from the procedure.
