Erector spinae pain-block during lumbar fusion surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing pain-block in a specific back muscle area (called an “erector spinae plane block”) can improve comfort during lumbar spinal fusion surgery. You might be eligible if you need this type of back surgery and can safely receive the numbing medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult needing lumbar spinal fusion surgery
- You have medical insurance and can sign informed consent
- Your overall health risk is in the lower to moderate range (ASA 1–3)
- You have no allergy to local anesthetics (numbing medicines)
- You can safely use morphine (no morphine intolerance, and not on morphine for over 3 months)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study tests whether a special numbing injection (called an erector spinae plane block) given near the spine during surgery can reduce pain after lumbar fusion. If you qualify, you might have less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
This trial compares two ways of delivering a pain-blocking injection (erector spinae plane block) after a single-level lower back surgery. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain relief after surgery.
This study compares two ways of giving a nerve block to reduce pain after lumbar stabilization surgery (a surgery to fix or stabilize the lower spine). The goal is to see if one block is enough or if two are needed for better pain control with fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether a targeted back/neck numbing injection (an erector spinae block) can help reduce the amount of opioid pain medicine needed after posterior cervical spine surgery. It also aims to support an “enhanced recovery” pathway so patients may recover more comfortably and potentially faster.
This study tests a numbing medicine injected near the spine to reduce pain after lumbar surgery. It may help patients manage pain with less need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) given before surgery can reduce the amount of pain medicine and anesthesia needed during lumbar disc surgery. It may help people have less pain and fewer side effects.
