Summary

This study tested whether a specific nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can improve pain control after kidney transplant surgery. 40 adults with kidney failure were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard painkillers or standard painkillers alone. The goal was to see if the block lowers pain scores and reduces the need for strong opioid pain relievers.
