Summary
This study tested whether a special nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can reduce the need for strong opioid painkillers in children aged 6 to 18 with spastic cerebral palsy undergoing selective dorsal rhizotomy, a spinal surgery to reduce muscle stiffness. Thirty children participated, and the main goal was to measure total morphine use after surgery. The approach aims to improve pain control and reduce opioid side effects.
