U.S., Feb. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06843343) titled 'Dispersion Following ESP Versus ITP Blocks Using Lidocaine Study' on Feb. 20.
Brief Summary: Regional anesthesia techniques (or nerve blocks) are used to provide sensory blockade over the chest wall. The most established technique is thoracic epidural. This provides bilateral spread but is also associated with neuraxial complications, which has led to a decrease in clinical usage. Alternative peripheral nerve block techniques, such as intercostal nerve blocks, eliminate the neuraxial complications but, in turn, require numerous injections to provide unilateral coverage. The introduction of ultrasound-guided (USG) nerve blocks has ge...
