First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tested whether a superficial cervical block—a simple injection of numbing medicine in the neck—can reduce the need for strong painkillers (opioids) after anterior cervical discectomy surgery. Sixty adults undergoing this neck surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the block or standard care. Researchers measured how much rescue pain medication was needed and compared pain scores and side effects between the two groups.
