Recruiting studies
- NCT06933498Recruiting
Nerve block for less pain meds in back surgery
This trial tests whether a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) given before surgery can reduce the amount of pain medicine and anesthesia needed during lumbar disc surgery. It may help people have less pain and fewer side effects.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT06910696Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two nerve blocks for lumbar disc surgery pain
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain control after lumbar disc surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines after your operation.
ZagazigAges 21–64 - NCT06821516Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for hip replacement pain
This study compares two different nerve block techniques to manage pain after a total hip replacement. The goal is to find out which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
Istanbul, Türki̇yeAges 18 years+ - NCT06801574Recruiting
Comparing pain relief methods for back surgery
This trial compares three different ways to manage pain during and after back surgery (lumbar fixation). The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief and recovery.
ErzurumAges 18–65 - NCT05494502Recruiting
Nerve block to reduce long-term pain after breast surgery
This trial tests whether a specific pain-numbing nerve block given during mastectomy can reduce chronic (long-lasting) pain after breast cancer surgery. It may help some people use less pain medicine later by lowering nerve-related pain after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06745453Recruiting
Nerve block for back pain in the ER
This trial tests whether a numbing injection near your spine can quickly relieve sudden back pain that has lasted less than six weeks. If it works, it could be a fast, non-opioid option during an ER visit.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06618599Recruiting
Two numbing injections for pain after lung cancer surgery
This study compares two types of numbing injections (one around the spine and another near the back muscles) to see which works better for pain relief after lung cancer surgery. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain medicines.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06562634Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound-guided nerve block for knee surgery pain relief
This study tests a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to see if it reduces pain after open knee surgery. It aims to find a better way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06507293Recruiting
Pain relief methods comparison for lung surgery
This trial tests two numbing injections to see which reduces pain medicine use during lung surgery. A special pain monitor guides the treatment. It may help you need fewer opioids during your procedure.
KocaeliAges 18–65 - NCT06528288Recruiting
Numbing injection for pain relief after back fusion surgery
This study tests whether a special numbing injection (called an erector spinae plane block) given near the spine during surgery can reduce pain after lumbar fusion. If you qualify, you might have less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05623722Recruiting
Nerve block to help organ function in severe gut sepsis
This trial studies whether an erector spinae plane nerve block (a pain-control injection near the spine) can improve organ health in adults with sepsis caused by acute gut injury. It’s meant for people sick enough to need ICU care for several days.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06322810Recruiting
Pain relief methods for open heart surgery: ESP vs PIFB
This study compares two ways to manage pain after open-heart surgery. It looks at using an injection near the spine (ESP block) versus a needle placed through the chest wall (PIFB) to help reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT05856539Recruiting
Numbing nerve block during minimally invasive low back surgery
This trial tests whether an “ESP block” (a numbing injection near the spine) can help control pain during minimally invasive low back fusion surgery. If you’re having this surgery, the goal is to improve comfort and reduce pain medicine needs.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT05920109Recruiting
Early pain block to help breathing after severe chest trauma
This study tests whether an early pain-numbing injection to the chest wall can reduce how much ventilator support (breathing machine) people need after severe blunt chest injury with multiple rib fractures. If it works, it may help patients breathe more easily and spend less time on ventilation in the ICU.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06091241Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain relief after DIEP breast reconstruction
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (ESPBs and TAPs) to see which provides better pain control after DIEP flap surgery for breast cancer. Women with breast cancer who are otherwise healthy or have mild to moderate medical conditions may be able to join.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–70 - NCT04904575Recruiting
Erector spinae pain-block during lumbar fusion surgery
This study tests whether a numbing pain-block in a specific back muscle area (called an “erector spinae plane block”) can improve comfort during lumbar spinal fusion surgery. You might be eligible if you need this type of back surgery and can safely receive the numbing medicine.
Saint-Jean-de-VédasAges 18 years+ - NCT05179928Recruiting
Numbing injections for less pain after belly surgery
This trial compares two different numbing injection techniques to help control pain after surgery above the belly button. It may help people who qualify have better or longer-lasting pain relief with fewer side effects.
Damanhūr, El-BeheiraAges 21–60 - NCT05024344Recruiting
Nerve block to reduce pain after kidney stone surgery
This trial tests whether an “ESP block” (a targeted local anesthetic injection near nerves) works better than standard care to control pain after percutaneous kidney stone removal. If it helps with pain, it could reduce the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for erector spinae plane block?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 114 recruiting erector spinae plane block studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a erector spinae plane block trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a erector spinae plane block trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
