The Effect of High-thoracic Erector Spinae Plane Block on Postoperative Pain and Diaphragmatic Function in Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery

NCT06721832 ↗

Phase 3 Completed 50 enrolled Benha University
RandomizedParallel-groupTriple-blindTreatment

Summary

Posterior cervical spine surgery, often performed on older individuals with significant comorbidities, is one of the most painful surgical operations. Anesthesiologists face a unique challenge in managing pain following these surgeries,Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a relatively novel block and was first described for chronic thoracic neuropathic pain in 2016.Cervical erector spinae plane (ESP) block has been described to anesthetize the brachial plexus (BP), however, the mechanism of its clinical effect remains unknown. As the prevertebral fascia encloses the phrenic nerves, BP and erector spinae muscles to form a prevertebral compartment, a local anesthetic injected in the cervical ESP could potentially spread throughout the prevertebral compartment
