  Recruiting Atatürk Chest Diseases and Chest Surgery Training and Research Hospital · Yenimahalle, Ankara · NCT07747623

• Midpoint transverse process to pleura block vs erector spinae plane block for thoracic herpes zoster pain

  This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which better eases pain from thoracic herpes zoster in adults 21–60.

  Recruiting Tanta University · Tanta, El-Gharbia · NCT07732556

• Continuous ESP Block for Analgesia After CABG Surgery

  This trial tests whether a continuous erector spinae plane (ESP) block with ropivacaine, delivered via catheter and patient-controlled analgesia, provides better postoperative pain relief than placebo in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

  Recruiting Phase 3 Instituto do Coracao · São Paulo, São Paulo · NCT07666178

• External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block vs Erector Spinae Plane Block for Paediatric Upper Abdominal Surgeries

  This study tests whether two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—external oblique intercostal plane and erector spinae plane—provide different pain relief for children undergoing upper abdominal surgery.

  Recruiting Alexandria University · Alexandria · NCT07617545

• Quadro‑Iliac Plane Block versus Erector Spinae Plane for pain after total hip replacement

  This will test whether the quadro‑iliac plane block or the erector spinae plane block controls pain better after total hip replacement in adults having spinal anesthesia.

  Recruiting Tanta University · Tanta, El-Gharbia · NCT07537036

• Erector spinae plane block versus thoracoscopic intercostal nerve block for pain after VATS lung surgery

  This compares two nerve-block techniques to see which gives better pain control after elective VATS lung surgery in adults.

  Recruiting Sana Klinikum Offenbach · Offenbach, Hesse · NCT07535697

• Intermittent ESP Block via Subcutaneous Port for Lung Cancer Pain

  This study tests whether giving intermittent erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks through a subcutaneous port can better control chest wall–related cancer pain in adults with advanced lung cancer.

  Recruiting Hanoi Medical University · Hanoi · NCT07396558

• Costotransverse foramen block versus erector spinae plane block for pain control in modified radical mastectomy

  This test will see if the costotransverse foramen block or the erector spinae plane block provides better pain relief after modified radical mastectomy in adult women.

  Recruiting National Cancer Institute, Egypt · Cairo · NCT07367568

• Erector spinae plane block for pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery

  This will test whether giving an erector spinae plane block reduces pain and 24-hour opioid use for adults having laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

  Recruiting Assiut University · Asyut · NCT07272577

• Infrared thermography to predict erector spinae plane block success in children having unilateral inguinal hernia repair

  This project will test whether temperature changes seen on a thermal camera can tell if an erector spinae plane block worked in children aged 3 months to 6 years having unilateral inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia.

  Recruiting Cairo University · Cairo · NCT07161375

• Dexamethasone versus magnesium added to bupivacaine for erector spinae plane block after elective cesarean

  This study will test whether adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to bupivacaine in an erector spinae plane block gives better pain relief after elective cesarean under spinal anesthesia.

  Recruiting Cairo University · Cairo · NCT07139522

• Sacral erector spinae plane block versus caudal epidural block for pain after hypospadias repair in young boys

  This trial will see if a sacral erector spinae plane block or a caudal epidural block gives better pain relief for boys aged 1–5 after hypospadias repair.

  Recruiting Tanta University · Tanta, El-Gharbia Govenorate · NCT07099560

• Ultrasound-guided erector spinae block with betamethasone for truncal postherpetic neuralgia

  This will test whether adding an ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block with betamethasone to standard care reduces pain in adults with truncal postherpetic neuralgia.

  Recruiting Cairo University · Cairo · NCT07000409

• Pain management for children undergoing thoracoscopic sympathectomy using a specific nerve block technique

  This study tests if a special nerve block technique can help reduce pain and improve recovery for kids aged 6 to 16 after surgery to treat certain conditions.

  Recruiting Menoufia University · Shibīn al Kawm, Menoufia · NCT06984874

• Effect of Injection Speed on Local Anesthetic Spread in ESPB

  This study is testing whether injecting local anesthetic quickly or slowly affects how well it spreads for patients getting a procedure to locate lung nodules.

  Recruiting Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University · Nanjing, Jiangsu · NCT06936904

• Comparing two pain management techniques after tummy tuck surgery

  This study tests which of two pain management techniques works better for people recovering from tummy tuck surgery.
