- Registration Number
- CTRI/2025/03/083676
- Lead Sponsor
- Sir Ganga Ram Hospital
- Brief Summary
This randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, single-center trial compares the efficacy of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block to local infiltration analgesia (LIA) with 0.25% Levobupivacaine in patients undergoing lumbar spine fixation surgery under general anesthesia. The primary outcome is the time to first rescue analgesia post-surgery. Secondary outcomes include hemodynamic parameters (mean arterial pressure and heart rate) at various intervals up to 24 hours post-surgery, postoperative pain scores using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), functional recovery (time to first ambulation and self-voiding), patient satisfaction for pain relief using a 5-point Likert scale, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) scores at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours post-surgery.
