A 100-mm echogenic needle will be inserted in a cephalocaudal direction to deposit the local anesthetic deep to the erector spinae muscle at the transverse process level. The correct spread of the anesthetic will be confirmed via real-time ultrasound imaging.\n\nAll patients will receive standardized general anesthesia and multimodal analgesia.\n\nOutcome measures include postoperative pain (NRS), opioid consumption, rescue analgesia requirement, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\nPatients undergoing elective flexible ureterorenoscopy (URS).\n\nAge: 18-65 years.\n\nASA I-II.\n\nWilling to participate and provide written informed consent.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nBMI \\>35 kg/m².\n\nAllergy to local anesthetics.\n\nCoagulation disorders or use of anticoagulants.\n\nPatients requiring emergency surgery.\n\nPatients with infection at the ESP block site.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06826833', 'acronym': 'ESPURS', 'briefTitle': 'ESP Block for Postoperative Analgesia in URS Surgery', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Namik Kemal University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Block in Flexible Ureterorenoscopy (URS) Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'TNKU-URS001'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'ESP Block Group', 'description': 'A regional anesthesia technique in which 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine is injected under ultrasound guidance at the T8-T10 level to provide postoperative pain relief.', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block']}, {'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': 'Control Group', 'description': 'Patients will receive routine multimodal analgesia without an ESP block.'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'A regional anesthesia technique in which 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine is injected under ultrasound guidance at the T8-T10 level to provide postoperative pain relief.', 'armGroupLabels': ['ESP Block Group']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '59000', 'city': 'Tekirdağ', 'country': 'Turkey (Türkiye)', 'facility': 'Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Research Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 40.9781, 'lon': 27.51101}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Ayhan Şahin, Assoc.
