Summary
This study tests if a targeted back muscle injection (ESPB) works better than a standard skin injection for pain control after lumbar spinal fusion. Researchers will track pain levels and opioid use in 66 adults for two weeks after surgery. The goal is to see if the ESPB method leads to less pain and fewer opioids.
