ESP Blocks for Posterior Spinal Fusion - Clinical Trial

What is the Purpose of this Study?

In this study, people will get a special shot called a nerve block. It is given in the back of the neck while the person is asleep under general anesthesia. This means they will not feel anything during the procedure.

What is the Condition Being Studied?

Cervical spine surgery

Who Can Participate in the Study?

Anyone aged 18-80 without history of chronic pain

Age Group
Adults

The goal of this study is to find out if a long-lasting numbing medicine helps when used in a new kind of nerve block for neck and spine surgery. The medicine is meant to reduce pain by calming the nerves during and after the surgery.
