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 enhance anesthetic management for patients undergoing surgical correction of spinal deformities by incorporating a bilateral bi-level Erector spine plane block alongside general anesthesia. Patients will be monitored throughout various stages of the surgical process, including preoperative preparation and postoperative recovery, to assess pain management and overall outcomes. The study will compare the effectiveness of this nerve block technique against standard general anesthesia in managing acute and chronic pain. Comprehensive assessments will be conducted, including blood tests and evaluations of cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
