What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether a nerve block called an erector spinae plane block, given before cervical spine surgery, can reduce pain and the need for opioids afterward. Sixty adults undergoing neck fusion surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the anesthetic ropivacaine or a placebo (saline). The researchers measured how long it took for patients to first request opioid pain medication and how much they used overall.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ropivacaine (a local anesthetic)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a better way to manage pain after neck surgery and reduce reliance on strong painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study. The results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and nerve blocks carry rare risks like infection or nerve damage.
