Summary

Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a novel block developed by Forero to treat severe neuropathic pain and was firstly reported in 2016. Anatomical and radiological investigations in fresh cadavers indicate that its site of action is likely at the dorsal and ventral rami of the thoracic spinal nerves. The ESP block has a clear and simple sonoanatomy, it is easy to perform, not time consuming and generally well tolerated by the patients. So, the investigators believed that the ESP block may be an effective and safer alternative to paravertebral block, epidural analgesia and other myofascial thoracic wall blocks in breast surgery and designed a prospective, randomised, placebo-controlled trial for pain management.
