The effect of ultrasound-guided intercostal nerve block, single-injection erector spinae plane block and multiple-injection paravertebral block on postoperative analgesia in thoracoscopic surgery: A randomized, double-blinded, clinical trial.

Study Objective: The study was to determine the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided intercostal nerve block (ICNB) and single-injection erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in comparison with multiple-injection paravertebral block (PVB) after thoracoscopic surgery.

Design: Randomized, controlled, double- blinded study.

Setting: Operating room, postoperative recovery room and ward.
