ERECTOR SPINAE PLANE BLOCK

This study tested whether adding dexamethasone or dexmedetomidine to a standard nerve block (erector spinae plane block) could extend pain relief after spine surgery. 90 adults undergoing lumbar spine surgery received one of the two additives or a placebo. The main goal was to se…

This completed study tested whether a nerve block called the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can reduce pain and the need for opioids after robotic colorectal surgery. 70 patients with colorectal cancer were enrolled. The main goal was to see if the block lowers total tramadol …

This study compared two pain relief methods for people undergoing lower back decompression surgery. One group received a nerve block (erector spinae plane block), while the other received ketamine through an IV. Researchers measured how well patients recovered using a quality-of-…

This study tested two different nerve blocks to control pain right after thyroid surgery. Forty adults received either a cervical erector spinae plane block or a cervical plexus block. Researchers measured how much morphine patients needed and how long until they first asked for …

This study tested whether adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to a standard numbing drug (bupivacaine) could provide longer pain relief after total hip replacement. 66 adults received an ultrasound-guided nerve block before surgery. The main goal was to see how long it took…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks—erector spinae plane block and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block—to see which one better reduces opioid painkiller use after breast and armpit surgery. Sixty adults aged 18-80 took part. The goal was to find a safer …

This study tested two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after cancer surgery on the upper belly. 70 adults having liver or kidney surgery received either an erector spinae plane block or an external oblique intercostal plane block. The main goal was to see which block reduced …

This completed trial tested whether a nerve block called erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can reduce pain and opioid use in super obese patients (BMI over 50) after laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Sixty participants received either the ESPB or standard local anesthetic at the in…

This study compared two ways to manage pain after modified radical mastectomy: an ultrasound-guided nerve block (erector spinae plane block) versus injecting anesthetic into the surgical wound. Thirty-seven women participated, and researchers measured how much morphine they neede…

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 o…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (retrolaminar block and erector spinae plane block) for pain control after lumbar discectomy surgery. The goal was to see which block better reduces the need for opioid painkillers and speeds up recovery. 90 adults undergoing elective…

This study looked at whether a nerve block (ESPB) given before lumbar spine surgery can lower the amount of strong pain medicine (remifentanil) needed during the operation. 60 adults having elective back surgery took part. The goal was to see if the block provides better pain con…

This study tested a nerve block called the erector spinae plane block to see if it reduces pain after breast cancer surgery with implant reconstruction. 100 women scheduled for this surgery took part. The goal was to measure pain levels and recovery quality after the operation.

This study compared two types of nerve blocks—ESPB and MTAPA—for managing pain after laparoscopic (keyhole) abdominal surgery in 50 children aged 2 to 7. Both blocks aim to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers. The researchers measured how long it took for children to …

This study looked at 113 adults who had major lung surgery with a video camera. It compared a newer pain-blocking method (erector spinae plane block) with two older methods (spinal morphine and nerve blocks). The goal was to see which one worked best for pain and reduced the need…

This study tested whether a special nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can reduce the need for strong opioid painkillers in children aged 6 to 18 with spastic cerebral palsy undergoing selective dorsal rhizotomy, a spinal surgery to reduce muscle stiffness. Thirty children …

This study tested two types of nerve blocks—erector spinae plane block and thoracic paravertebral block—to see which one provides better pain relief after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Thirty adults having weight-loss surgery received one of the two blocks, and researchers mea…

This study tested three different numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one provides the best pain relief after a type of chest surgery called thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Sixty adults took part, and researchers measured how long it took before they needed morphine for p…

This study tested three different nerve blocks to control pain after video-assisted chest surgery. Sixty adults received one of the blocks, and researchers measured how long they could go before needing morphine. The goal is to find the best way to reduce pain and the need for st…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain after video-assisted chest surgery. 70 adults were randomly assigned to receive either an edge of laminar block or an erector spinae plane block. The goal was to see which block reduces the need for mo…

This study looked at 60 children aged 2 to 7 having lower abdominal surgery. It compared two ways to manage pain: an erector spinae block and a caudal block. The goal was to see which method provides better pain relief during and after surgery, using a standard pain scale.

This study looked at 75 adults having lower back surgery to see if body weight affects how well a nerve block controls pain. Researchers measured pain levels at rest and while coughing in the first hours after surgery. The goal is to understand if heavier patients need different …
