New nerve block technique may cut pain and blood loss in spinal surgery

NCT ID NCT07101198

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This study tested whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block (erector spinae plane block) given before major spinal surgery can lower pain and bleeding. 120 adults having spinal stabilization surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard pain care or standard care alone. Researchers measured blood loss during surgery and pain levels afterward to see if the block offers extra benefits.
