NCT ID NCT07340801

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compared two types of nerve blocks—ISPB and ESPB—for pain relief after elective posterior cervical spine surgery. 102 adults received one of the blocks with bupivacaine, and researchers measured how much opioid painkiller they needed during and after surgery. The goal is to find which block provides better pain control and reduces opioid use.

What this could lead to

This is a small, completed study comparing two techniques. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and individual responses to pain blocks vary.
