Summary
This study tested two types of nerve blocks (TAP and ESPB) against a standard painkiller (tramadol) for people with acute appendicitis waiting for emergency surgery. The goal was to see if these blocks could lower pain and reduce the need for stronger opioids. 96 adults took part, and the results may help improve pain control in busy emergency rooms.
