Evaluating Erector Spinae Plane Block for Pain Relief After Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of the erector spinae plane block ESPB for pain relief after laparoscopic abdominal surgeries. This study aims to see if ESPB can reduce the need for opioid pain medication during the first 24 hours after surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is known to cause less pain and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery, and ESPB has shown promise in other types of surgery for improving postoperative pain control. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will receive an ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block before surgery, while the control group will not receive this block and will proceed directly to the operating room. The study will monitor patients during and after surgery to compare pain relief and medication use between the groups. During the study, researchers will track the time until the first request for additional pain relief within 24 hours after surgery, total opioid consumption, heart rate, blood pressure during surgery, pain levels, and any adverse events. The study will follow participants for 24 hours after surgery to assess these outcomes and ensure safety. Participation involves routine monitoring and assessments related to pain and vital signs.
