Randomized Controlled TrialErector spinae block for postoperative pain management in lumbar disc hernia repair.
Lumbar disc herniation is the most common spinal disorder and various less invasive techniques such as microdiscectomy have been described. However, postoperative pain management in patients undergoing discectomy is still commonly inadequate. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a relatively easier technique with lower risks of complications, and can be performed to provide postoperative analgesia for various procedures. The current study aimed to determine the effect of ESP block on postoperative analgesia in patients who underwent elective lumbar disc herniation repair surgeries. ⋯ NCT03744689.

Randomized Controlled TrialSerratus Anterior Plane Block Combined with General Analgesia and Patient-Controlled Serratus Anterior Plane Block in Patients with Breast Cancer: A Randomized Control Trial.
Anterior serratus muscle plane block is a novel regional block technique for blockade of the sensory plane of the lateral cutaneous branch of the intercostal nerve (T2-T9), which effectively relieves the pain of patients and improves the quality of recovery. This study aimed to observe the early effectiveness and safety of serratus anterior plane block combined with general anesthesia and patient-controlled serratus anterior plane block in early postoperative recovery in breast cancer. ⋯ The combination of anterior serratus plane block and general anesthesia and patient-controlled anterior serratus plane block reduced pain and adverse events, alleviating anxiety, improving the quality of early postoperative recovery among patients with breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy.
