Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who may also have issues with opioid use. Participants should be preparing for surgery and willing to receive an ultrasound-guided ESP block, which is a type of pain management technique.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block in improving recovery quality and reducing opioid need after surgery. Patients will randomly get either Ropivacaine (anesthetic) or saline solution in their ESP block before surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
Ropivacaine can cause side effects like low blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, numbness around the injection site, or allergic reactions. Saline solution generally has minimal to no side effects.
