Effect of Erector Spinae Plane Block on Neuropathic Pain After Abdominal Hysterectomy
Sponsor: Necmettin Erbakan University
Summary
This study evaluated whether bilateral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) performed before abdominal hysterectomy could reduce postoperative pain and the development of chronic and neuropathic pain. Adult patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia were assigned to receive either bilateral ESPB with bupivacaine or standard perioperative analgesic management without ESPB. Postoperative pain was assessed during the early postoperative period and at 1 and 6 months after surgery. Chronic and neuropathic pain were evaluated at 1 and 6 months using validated pain assessment tools.
