The erector spinae plane (ESPB) block has been shown to offer significant pain relief during and after surgical procedures, positioning it as a potentially beneficial anesthetic technique. However, limited evidence currently supports its effectiveness in reducing nausea and vomiting specifically. This meta-analysis aims to examine the impact of ESPB on PONV rates, assessing whether the block offers measurable benefits for this common postoperative issue, in addition to its recognized analgesic effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two researchers conducted a comprehensive search across three databases\u2014PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials\u2014using keywords such as \u201cerector spinae plane block, meta-analysis, nausea, and vomiting\u201d to identify all relevant literature. The data obtained from these studies were then analyzed through meta-analysis, utilizing Review Manager software to synthesize findings and assess overall outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this meta-analysis, 44 trials involving 2,830 patients were analyzed. The ESPB was found to significantly decrease the incidence of nausea (risk difference (RD) = -0.16, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.21\u20140.12) and vomiting (RD = -0.12, 95% CI: -0.17\u20140.07) compared to no ESPB. Additionally, ESPB decreased the dosage of morphine [standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.86, 95% CI: -1.54 to -0.18], fentanyl (SMD = -2.96, 95% CI: -5.13 to -0.79), and tramadol (SMD = -1.43, 95% CI: -2.32 to -0.55) when compared to no ESPB. It also reduced VAS movement at 24 h (SMD = -1.58, 95% CI: -3.04 to -0.13) and lowered the occurrence of dizziness (RR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.18\u20131.02), while prolonging the likelihood of itching (RR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.25\u20130.61). We assessed the outcomes of nausea and vomiting with GRADE, and they were high to moderately certain, respectively. In addition, our analysis of trial sequences found adequate sample sizes for reductions in the incidence of nausea and vomiting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our meta-analysis found that ESPB may be able to reduce the incidence of nausea and vomiting and improve the quality of patients\u2019 postoperative recovery and trial sequential analysis confirmed an adequate sample size for this conclusion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Systematic review registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:ext-link>https:\/\/www.crd.york.ac.uk\/PROSPERO\/<\/jats:ext-link>\n                      , identifier CRD42024604805.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2025.1749998","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,16]],"date-time":"2026-01-16T06:34:22Z","timestamp":1768545262000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Erector spinae plane block reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 44 randomized trials"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Chong","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine","place":["Hangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Minmin","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Jiangnan University Medical Center (Wuxi No. 2 People\u2019s Hospital, Affiliated Wuxi Clinical College of Nantong University)","place":["Wuxi, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinjin","family":"Jian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University","place":["Wuxi, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinfang","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Jiangnan University Medical Center (Wuxi No. 2 People\u2019s Hospital, Affiliated Wuxi Clinical College of Nantong University)","place":["Wuxi, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.1186\/s12871-023-02215-9","article-title":"The preventive effect of dexmedetomidine on anesthesia complications in strabismus surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.","volume":"23","author":"Chen","year":"2023","journal-title":"BMC Anesthesiol."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1016\/j.annonc.2024.09.001","article-title":"A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II study of olanzapine-based prophylactic antiemetic therapy for delayed and persistent nausea and vomiting in patients with HER2-positive or HER2-low breast cancer treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan: erica study (WJOG14320B).","volume":"36","author":"Sakai","year":"2024","journal-title":"Ann Oncol."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"104","DOI":"10.1186\/s12871-024-02483-z","article-title":"Effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on the quality of postoperative recovery: a meta-analysis.","volume":"24","author":"Zhang","year":"2024","journal-title":"BMC Anesthesiol."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"566","DOI":"10.4103\/ija.ija_1162_23","article-title":"Olanzapine versus standard antiemetic prophylaxis for the prevention of post-discharge nausea and vomiting after propofol-based general anaesthesia: a randomised controlled trial.","volume":"68","author":"Deb","year":"2024","journal-title":"Indian J Anaesth."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4330","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15204330","article-title":"Exploring the nutrition strategies employed by ultra-endurance athletes to alleviate exercise-induced gastrointestinal symptoms-A systematic review.","volume":"15","author":"Ryan","year":"2023","journal-title":"Nutrients."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"604","DOI":"10.1007\/s00134-023-07053-4","article-title":"Erector spinae plane block: inexplicable benefits in acute gastrointestinal injury.
