Abstract Background Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel fascial plane block technique that can provide effective perioperative analgesia for thoracic, abdominal and lumbar surgeries. However, the effect of cervical ESPB on postoperative analgesia after arthroscopic shoulder surgery is unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate the analgesic effect and safety of ultrasound-guided cervical ESPB in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Methods Seventy patients undergoing arthroscopy shoulder surgery were randomly assigned to one of two groups: ESPB group (n = 35) or control group (n = 35). Patients in the ESPB group received an ultrasound-guided ESPB at the C7 level with 30 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine 30 min before induction of general anesthesia, whereas patients in the control group received no block. The primary outcome measures were the static visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores at 4, 12, and 24 h after surgery. Secondary outcomes included heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) before anesthesia (t1), 5 min after anesthesia (t2), 10 min after skin incision (t3), and 10 min after extubation (t4); intraoperative remifentanil consumption; the Bruggrmann comfort scale (BCS) score, quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) scale score and the number of patients who required rescue analgesia 24 h after surgery; and adverse events. Results The static VAS scores at 4, 12 and 24 h after surgery were significantly lower in the ESPB group than those in the control group (2.17 ± 0.71 vs. 3.14 ± 1.19, 1.77 ± 0.77 vs. 2.63 ± 0.84, 0.74 ± 0.66 vs. 1.14 ± 0.88, all P 0.05). The intraoperative consumption of remifentanil was significantly less in the ESPB group compared to the control group (P
