Official title
Effects of Continuous Erector Spinae Plane Blocks on Recovery, Pain and Opioid Consumption After Multilevel Spine Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Single-shot erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks (ESPB) are emerging as an intervention to improve pain and minimize opioid consumption after lumbar spine surgery. Although promising, there is minimal evidence to support routine use, and widespread clinical adoption may be limited to centers with advanced regional anesthesia resources and expertise. Continuous ESP catheter techniques may solve these problems but are associated with challenges of their own. This trial will investigate the role of adding surgeon-placed, continuous ESP catheters to single-shot ESPBs for patients undergoing multilevel spine surgery. It will assess whether adding ESP catheters with ropivacaine infusion for 48 hours after surgery offers opioid-minimizing analgesia and improves patient quality of recovery, compared to ESP catheters with saline/placebo infusion for 48 hours.
