Comparing one vs two ESP blocks for back surgery pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using two nerve blocks (ESP blocks) instead of one provides better pain relief after lumbar stabilization surgery. If you are having back surgery on 2 to 4 vertebrae, this study might help improve your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study compares two types of pain blocks given before lumbar back surgery to see which one provides better pain relief. It aims to help you manage pain after surgery with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (erector spinae and retrolaminar) for pain relief after cesarean delivery. Researchers want to see which one helps women recover better using a special questionnaire about how they feel after surgery.
This trial compares two pain control methods during and after a single-level lumbar disc surgery. It aims to see if one method reduces the amount of anesthetic gas used during the operation.
This trial compares two ways of delivering a pain-blocking injection (erector spinae plane block) after a single-level lower back surgery. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain relief 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.
