Different pain medicine plans for back surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study compares two combinations of anesthesia and pain medications during lumbar decompression surgery, to see which helps more. It may help patients by aiming for better pain control and recovery using one planned medication approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- Your surgery is a one- or two-level lumbar procedure (like microdiscectomy, laminotomy, or foraminotomy)
- If you’ve had spine surgery before, it must have been on different spine levels (not the same levels as this surgery)
- You can follow all study instructions and come for required visits
- You can understand the study and sign consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how muscle degeneration relates to nerve-related symptoms in people with chronic low back pain. You may be eligible if you’ve tried non-surgical care but still need surgery to relieve nerve pressure.
This trial tests a regional anesthesia (numbing medicine given near nerves) during minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps control pain around surgery and improves recovery comfort.
This trial compares two pain control methods during and after a single-level lumbar disc surgery. It aims to see if one method reduces the amount of anesthetic gas used during the operation.
This Phase 2 study looks at whether a long-lasting local pain medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) can improve recovery and outcomes after surgery for lumbar stenosis (narrowing in the lower spine). You may be considered if you’re an adult needing decompression surgery and do not have reasons that would make surgery unsafe or different from the study’s plan.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for lower back surgery: one that uses opioids and one that does not. The goal is to see which approach controls pain better with fewer side effects.
This trial compares three different ways to manage pain during and after back surgery (lumbar fixation). The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief and recovery.
