Randomized Controlled Trial
Bilateral ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block for postoperative persistent low back pain in lumbar disc surgery.
Persistent low back pain is an important disability after lumbar disc surgery. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is highly effective in providing post-surgical pain control, but its effectiveness in long-term persistent low back pain has not been investigated. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effect of ESPB on the reduction of persistent low back pain after surgery. ⋯ ESPB, which has a low risk of complications and is simple to perform, has been found useful in the treatment of persistent low back pain after disc surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Muscle Block Versus Ultrasound-guided Caudal Block in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Lower Abdominal Surgeries.
The erector spinae plane block is a new regional anesthetic technique that is gaining popularity in pediatric medicine. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided erector spinae block was safe and effective in pediatric patients undergoing unilateral lower abdominal surgery as it provided a longer duration of analgesia and less analgesic requirement than caudal block and fewer side effects.
