Spinal surgery breakthrough? simple injection may cut pain and blood loss
NCT ID NCT07101198
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block (erector spinae plane block) given before major spinal surgery can reduce pain and bleeding. 120 adults having spinal stabilization surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard care or standard care alone. The researchers measured blood loss during surgery and pain levels afterward. The goal is to see if this simple injection can improve recovery and reduce complications.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a simple injection that reduces pain and bleeding during spinal surgery, helping patients recover faster.
