Summary
This study tested whether a specific nerve block (erector spinae plane block) could help control pain from rib fractures in adults who had a blunt chest injury. The trial included 27 participants and aimed to see if a larger study was possible. The main focus was on how well the study could recruit and keep participants, not on proving the treatment works.
