Comparing pain relief methods after neck surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two different nerve block techniques, the serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block and the erector spinae plane block, in managing postoperative pain for patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy. By comparing these methods to a control group that does not receive a nerve block, the study seeks to determine which technique provides better analgesic outcomes and reduces the need for opioids. The goal is to enhance pain management while minimizing potential side effects associated with opioid use.
