Meta-analysis of the efficacy of the erector spinae plane block after spinal fusion surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the efficacy of erector spinal plane block (ESPB) after spinal fusion surgery in this study.

Methods

The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Web of Science databases were searched with a search deadline of March 30, 2024, and Stata 15.0 was used to analyze the data from the included studies.

Result

Nine randomized controlled trials involving 663 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that EPSB could reduce pain scores at 2h (standard mean difference (SMD) = -0.78, 95% CI [-1.38 to -0.19], GRADE: Moderate), 6 h (SMD = -0.81, 95% CI [-1.23 to -0.38], GRADE: Moderate), 12 h (SMD = -0.59, 95% CI [-1.05 to -0.13], GRADE: Moderate), 24 h (SMD = -0.54, 95% CI [-0.86 to -0.21], GRADE: Moderate), 48 h (SMD = -0.40, 95% CI [-0.75 to -0.05], GRAD
