Summary

This study compares two ways to manage pain in children aged 3-17 after spinal surgery: a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) using ropivacaine, and a continuous intravenous lidocaine infusion. The goal is to see which method delays the need for emergency opioid pain relief and reduces overall opioid use. 68 children will be enrolled, and pain levels will be measured using a standard faces pain scale.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ropivacaine (nerve block) and lidocaine (intravenous infusion)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a better way to manage pain after spinal surgery in children, reducing the need for strong opioids.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center Phase 4 trial with only 68 participants, so results may not apply to all children or surgeries. Both methods are already used in adults, but their safety and effectiveness in children are still being studied.
