First seen Jun 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compared two nerve block techniques—ESPB and SAPB—for pain after thoracotomy (chest surgery). Sixty adults received one of the two blocks, and pain was measured at rest and while coughing for 72 hours. The goal was to see which method provides better pain relief and reduces the need for morphine.
