ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring two different methods of pain relief for patients undergoing cervical spine surgery. The goal is to determine which method provides better pain control after surgery, helping patients recover more effectively and return to their daily activities sooner. The techniques being compared are called multifidus cervicis plane block and inter-semispinal plane block. Both methods aim to reduce the need for strong pain medications, which can have side effects and complicate recovery.

To participate in this study, patients should be between 21 and 60 years old, have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less, and be scheduled for elective cervical spine surgery. However, those with certain health issues, allergies to the medications used, or a history of chronic pain may not be eligible. Participants can expect to receive one of the pain control techniques before their surgery and will be monitored for pain levels and recovery progress. This research is important because effective pain management can greatly improve the surgery experience and overall outcomes for patients.
