Summary

This trial looks at how well a new spinal injection works to relieve kidney stone pain and if it has any side effects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with confirmed kidney stones who've had pain medication in the ER. It's not for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, prisoners, those on blood thinners or with clotting issues, local anesthetic allergies, active COVID-19 infection, UTI treatments, prior thoracic spine surgery, skin infections at the injection site, strong CYP1A2 inhibitor users or G6PD deficiency.
What is being tested?
The study tests how effective the Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) using Ropivacaine is in managing pain from kidney stones. ESPB is a type of regional anesthesia aimed at reducing discomfort.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions to Ropivacaine such as numbness and tingling near the injection area, low blood pressure, nausea, vomiting and rarely more serious nerve damage or allergic reactions.
