Nerve block to help organ function in severe gut sepsis
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (over 18 years old)
- You have sepsis along with acute gastrointestinal injury rated grade II or III
- Your ICU stay is expected to be at least 3 days
- Your blood pressure stays high enough after fluids (or you don’t need high-dose norepinephrine)
- You cannot have certain safety issues for the nerve block (like infection at the injection site or spinal problems)
- You do not have major bleeding/clotting problems, recent gut surgery, or pregnancy

This trial tests whether a nerve block can provide better pain relief for severe abdominal pain that hasn't improved with standard pain medicine. It's for people who are not candidates for surgery and are in the emergency department or already in the hospital.
This study tests whether a nerve block, called an erector spinae plane block, can reduce severe abdominal pain in people with gastrointestinal cancer who come to the emergency room. If you have cancer in your digestive system and are in pain that isn't controlled, this trial may help.
This study tests a numbing injection near the back muscles to see if it quickly relieves sudden low back pain and helps you move more easily. It may offer a new option for people who have trouble walking due to pain.
This trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to control pain after chest surgery done with a camera. It aims to find which block works better so you can recover more comfortably.
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.
This study looks at how a blood marker called NLR relates to nausea and vomiting after back surgery, and whether a type of pain block called ESPB can help. It aims to improve recovery and comfort for patients having lower back surgery.
