Personalized pain relief after back fusion surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a personalized plan to manage pain after lumbar (lower back) fusion and decompression surgery. It may help reduce difficult pain while guiding safe use of opioids around the time of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old
- Your health status is fairly stable (ASA 1 to 3)
- You’re having lower back (lumbar) decompression and/or fusion surgery and you’ll need opioid medicine for pain around surgery
- You’re not having outpatient surgery (it’s an inpatient stay)
- You do not have major liver or kidney problems, serious heart or breathing problems, or other major health instability
- You are not pregnant, can speak English, and you do not use illegal drugs or multiple substances (like cocaine, marijuana, or amphetamines)

This trial is testing a numbing medicine placed near the spine (erector spinae block) during lumbar spine fusion surgery. It aims to see if it helps control pain and may reduce the amount of anesthetic needed during the procedure.
This trial tests a personalized plan to manage pain around the time of pediatric posterior-lateral spinal fusion surgery. It aims to improve comfort and reduce the chance of pain or opioid problems after surgery by tailoring pain medicines to the child.
This trial tests placing antibiotic and pain-relieving beads directly into the spine during lower back fusion surgery. It aims to reduce infections and improve pain control after the operation.
This study tests a numbing injection near the spine to reduce pain after lumbar fusion surgery. It also adds two medications to make the pain relief last longer and reduce inflammation.
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 study is comparing different ways to manage pain after a specific type of lower back fusion surgery called TLIF. The goal is to find the best pain control plan to make recovery more comfortable.
