Erector Spinae Plane Block for Chronic Pain After Spinal Surgery
Sponsor: Aydin Adnan Menderes University
Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the erector spinae plane (ESP) block reduces acute and chronic postoperative pain in patients undergoing spinal surgery. Participants will be assigned to study groups according to the study protocol. Postoperative pain will be evaluated using standardized pain assessment tools. Acute postoperative pain will be assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), while chronic pain and its impact on daily life will be evaluated using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Neuropathic pain symptoms will also be assessed using the Self-Administered Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (S-LANSS). The study aims to determine whether the use of ESP block as part of perioperative pain management can improve postoperative pain outcomes following spinal surgery.

Interventions
NRS SCORE
An 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), where 0 indicated no pain and 10 represented the worst pain imaginable, was used to assess patients' pain levels.
Total tramadol consumption
The total number of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) bolus doses delivered within the first 24 hours will record
Post Operative Pain Relievers
Operasyon bitiminde hastalar, postoperatif derlenme odasına alındıkları andan itibaren ilk saat 30. dk.,1.,6.,12.24.saatlerde ağrı düzeyleri Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) sistemi ile belirlenerek kayıt altına alınacaktır. Hastaya serviste tramadol PCA ve sekiz saatte bir parasetamol uygulanmaktadır. Hastanın servis takiplerinde ise saatlik NRS takibine devam edilmesi planlanmıştır. Bu dönemde NRS 4 ve üzerinde olması durumunda intramuskuler 75 mg diklofenak sodyum uygulanacaktır. Analjezi tüketim miktarı, kurtarma analjeziği ihtiyaçları ve saatleri ayrıntılı olarak not edilecek, ve belirlenen saatlerdeki NRS skorları yanı sıra kurtarma analjeziği kullanımı da istatistiksel değerlendirmeye tutulacaktır. Postoperatif analjezi planı tüm hastalara aynı şekilde uygulanacaktır.
S-LANSS
The Self-completed Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (S-LANSS), a 7-item scale with scores ranging from 0 to 24, was used to assess neuropathic pain characteristics
BPI
The BPI was used to assess pain severity and pain interference in daily life. Pain severity was calculated as the mean of 4 items, while pain interference was calculated as the mean of 7 daily life domains, with scores ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicated greater pain severity and interference.
