Erector spinae nerve block for weight loss surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve block injection in the back to see if it reduces pain during and after laparoscopic bariatric surgery. It may help obese patients have a smoother recovery with less need for pain medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy). If you qualify, you will receive one of these nerve blocks before surgery to help manage your recovery pain.
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.
This trial tests whether a targeted back/neck numbing injection (an erector spinae block) can help reduce the amount of opioid pain medicine needed after posterior cervical spine surgery. It also aims to support an “enhanced recovery” pathway so patients may recover more comfortably and potentially faster.
This trial tests whether the position of patients during a nerve block (ESPB) affects pain relief after video-assisted lung surgery. It aims to find the best way to give the block for better comfort after surgery.
This trial tests whether an ESP block (a type of numbing injection near the spine) can reduce pain after back surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer opioids.
