Ultrasound Guided Rhomboid Intercostal Plane Block Versus Thoracic Erector Spinae Plane Block in Upper Abdominal Surgery
This study compares two different ultrasound-guided nerve block techniques to manage pain after upper abdominal surgery. Both techniques use ultrasound imaging to deliver numbing medication near nerves in the back to reduce post-operative pain.
Key Objective: This trial is testing which nerve block technique provides better pain relief and comfort after upper abdominal surgery.
Who to Consider: Patients scheduled for upper abdominal surgery who are interested in nerve block pain management options should consider enrolling.
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The aim of the work is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound guided rhomboid intercostal plane block versus ultrasound guided thoracic erector spinae block in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery.
