Clinical Trial: ESPB Versus SPSIPB for Quality of Recovery After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

U.S., July 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07729488) titled 'ESPB Versus SPSIPB for Quality of Recovery After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery' on July 22.

Brief Summary: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain despite its minimally invasive nature. Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block (SPSIPB) are promising regional analgesic techniques for thoracic surgery; however, evidence directly comparing their effects on postoperative quality of recovery remains limited. This prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled trial aims to compare the effects of ESPB an...
