Summary
This study tests if a special nerve block (ESP block) can better control pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers after spinal fusion surgery. About 75 adults having back or neck fusion will receive either a standard painkiller or the nerve block. Researchers will measure pain levels, opioid use, and how quickly patients can get out of bed and go home.
