Summary

This study looks at whether a specific nerve block, called the Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block, can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery. Researchers will compare outcomes between patients who receive the block and those who do not. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to manage post-surgery pain.
