Numbing shot before back surgery could slash need for strong opioids

NCT ID NCT06303557

Summary

This study tested if giving a numbing injection (called an erector spinae plane block) before back surgery could reduce the amount of a powerful opioid painkiller (remifentanil) needed during the operation. Researchers compared giving the block before surgery versus after surgery in 60 adults having elective lumbar disc surgery. The goal was to see if the pre-surgery block led to less opioid use, more stable vital signs, and better pain control after waking up.
