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

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 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 study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove a herniated disc in the lower back. It aims to see which technique offers better pain relief and recovery.
This study compares two treatments for a herniated disc in the lower back: laser treatment alone, or laser treatment plus a steroid injection around the nerve. It aims to see if adding the injection improves pain and function more than laser alone.
This study tests three different ways to give a steroid injection near the spine to treat leg pain caused by a herniated disc. It may help you avoid surgery by reducing pain and improving function.
