Summary
This study tests whether a special nerve block (ESP block) can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after spinal fusion surgery. About 75 adults having back or neck fusion will be randomly assigned to receive either a standard numbing medicine or a longer-acting version. Researchers will track pain scores, opioid use, and how quickly patients can get out of bed and go home.
