Opioid Sparing Effect of an ISP Nerve Block on Post-Op Pain Control in Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery
The Opioid Sparing Effect of an Inter-semispinalis Plane Block on Postoperative Pain Control in Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery
Stony Brook University
60 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Participants who have a surgical procedure called Posterior Cervical (neck) Spine Surgery will normally need pain medication to relieve post operative pain. This usually includes opioid medications. In this study, the consented participant may receive a nerve block procedure, in addition to the pain relieving medication. There is a fifty-fifty chance to receive the nerve block. The goal is to see if the nerve block group needs less opioid medication, has lower pain scores and is discharged from the hospital sooner.
