Sacral ESP Block to Help Pain After Pilonidal Sinus 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 randomized, prospective study compares two groups of patients undergoing pilonidal sinus surgery under general anesthesia: one receiving a sacral ESP block with local anesthetic after surgery and before extubation, and a control group receiving standard postoperative analgesia. Outcomes include need for rescue analgesics, total opioid consumption, pain scores, and side effects. The trial uses computer randomization and focuses on postoperative analgesia quality and safety. Enrollment is limited to adults with ASA I-II undergoing elective surgery, excluding those with contraindications to local anesthetics or opioids or with bleeding risk or infection at the block site.
