Analgesic Efficacy of the Novel Intra- Semispinal Fascial Plane Block in Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery

Cervical Spine Surgery Clinical Trial

Official title: Analgesic Efficacy of the Novel Intra- Semispinal Fascial Plane Block in Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Posterior cervical spine surgery often requires a large posterior midline incision, resulting in poorly controlled postoperative pain, which arises from iatrogenic mechanical damage, intraoperative retraction, and resection to structures such as bone, ligaments, muscles, intervertebral discs, and zygapophysial joints.

Clinical Trial Description

Ultrasound-guided Inter-semispinal plane (ISP) block, was proposed as a novel technique for analgesia in posterior cervical spine surgeries. The ISP block involves an injection of local anesthetic into the fascial plane between the semispinalis cervicis and semispinal capitis muscles and results in blocking the dorsal rami of the cervical spinal nerves. ISP block can provide effective analgesia in posterior cervical spine surgery ;
