First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a specific nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can lower the need for strong painkillers after open abdominal surgery. About 46 adults having abdominal surgery under general anesthesia will receive the block or standard care. The goal is to see if fewer patients need rescue opioids when their pain score is high.
