Erector spinae plane block for pain management in lumbar spinal fusion

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 the erector spinae plane block in reducing morphine consumption within 72 hours following lumbar spinal fusion surgery. The procedure is designed to enhance postoperative pain management, which is crucial for improving rehabilitation outcomes. By implementing a multimodal analgesia approach, the study seeks to provide insights into the benefits of regional anesthesia techniques in spine surgery. The research is conducted at Clinique Saint Jean, where a focus on enhanced recovery after surgery is prioritized.
