When is the best time for a pain block during spine surgery?
NCT ID NCT06215053
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 46 adults having spinal surgery to find out if giving a pain-relieving nerve block (ESP block) before or after surgery works better. The goal was to see which timing reduces opioid use and improves recovery. Results will help anesthesiologists choose the best approach for patient comfort.
