Sacral erector spinae block: A new era for postoperative analgesia—a narrative review

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology
Erector spinae muscle extends throughout the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral regions. Sacral erector spinae block is performed by depositing the local anaesthetic in the fascial plane deep to erector spinae muscle at sacral level. Local anaesthetic

Erector spinae plane block for different surgeries: A case series

Bali Journal of Anesthesiology, 2020
Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is an interfascial plane block where a local anesthetic is injected below the erector spinae muscle. It is supposed to work at the origin of spinal nerves based on cadaveric and contrast study.

ATHLETIC: An exoskeleton countermeasure exercise device for resistive and plyometric training in deep‐space missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

Development of a Grasshopper‐Leg‐Inspired Back‐Type Exoskeleton for the Reduction of Muscle Activation During Stoop Activities

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 739-760, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

Erector spinae plane block: Relatively new block on horizon with a wide spectrum of application – A case series

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2018
Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is an interfascial plane block where a local anaesthetic is injected in a plane preferably below the erector spinae muscle. It is supposed to work at the origin of spinal nerves based on cadaveric and contrast study.

Muscle Imaging in Inclusion Body Myositis: Refinement of MRI Criteria and Insights Into Upper Body Involvement

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The diagnosis of inclusion body myositis (IBM) can be delayed because of its heterogeneous clinical presentation and the lack of specific biomarkers. Muscle imaging has gained increasing relevance over the past decade and is now included among the supportive criteria in the international diagnostic guidelines.

Effective management of chronic lumbar back pain in five dogs using an erector spinae plane block

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract This retrospective case series evaluates the use of the ultrasound‐guided erector spinae plane block for managing chronic lumbar pain in five dogs unresponsive to conventional systemic analgesia. Each patient received a bilateral erector spinae plane block at either the L2/L3 or L3/L4 level under general anaesthesia. The injectate consisted of

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Erector Spinae Block vs Local Infiltration in Enhancing Early Recovery Following Vertebroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]

Journal of Orthopedics and Joint Surgery
Introduction: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture is a debilitating condition affecting the aging population. Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and kyphoplasty are key treatment options to alleviate pain and restore vertebral height.

Continuous erector spinae plane block versus thoracic epidural analgesia in video-assisted thoracic surgery: a study protocol for a prospective randomized open label non-inferiority trial

Trials, 2021
Background Thoracic epidural analgesia is considered the gold standard for pain relief in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. This neuraxial technique blocks pain sensation by injecting a local anesthetic agent in the epidural space near the spinal ...
