Erector spinae plane block for pain management in lumbar percutaneous vertebroplasty: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

This trial will determine whether ESPB offers superior analgesia for PVP, guiding future pain management strategies. If proven effective, ESPB could be adopted as a key component of multimodal analgesia for vertebral augmentation, potentially leading to reduced opioid dependence, improved patient comfort, and faster recovery. The results will guide future evidence-based pain management strategies for these common procedures.
