Description

A nerve block beside the spine, called the erector spinae plane block, eases pain by bathing spinal nerve branches in local anesthetic under ultrasound guidance. Shengfang Du, Qianqian Xie, Tingting Liang, and Yinhua Feng reviewed its use for chronic pain in 2025. The technique began in acute care and spread because it is simple to perform and has a strong safety record.

The review walks through the anatomy behind the block, how it spreads across several segments, and the evidence in cancer pain and nerve pain. It also weighs the method's limits and unsettled questions. The authors aim to fix the block's place in chronic pain care and point to where trials should go next.
