Pain management techniques after cervical spine 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 evaluates the effectiveness of two novel regional anesthetic techniques, the Multifidus Cervicis plane block and the Inter-Semispinal Plane block, in managing postoperative pain following cervical spine surgery. The goal is to reduce opioid consumption and improve early mobilization, which are critical for recovery. Patients undergoing elective posterior cervical spine surgery will be assigned to either a control group or one of the two intervention groups. The study aims to determine which technique provides better analgesia and enhances recovery outcomes.
