Blood markers and pain relief for lumbar spine surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how a blood marker called NLR relates to nausea and vomiting after back surgery, and whether a type of pain block called ESPB can help. It aims to improve recovery and comfort for patients having lower back surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having elective surgery on your lower back (lumbar spine) while lying face down.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are in good general health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You have not had previous surgery on your lower back.
- You are not taking certain medications like anti-nausea drugs, sedatives, or painkillers long-term.
- You do not have uncontrolled diseases, infections, or bleeding disorders.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a continuous nerve block (ESP block) placed near the spine to control pain after bypass surgery. It aims to see if this block improves recovery and reduces pain.
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.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (numbing injections) given during lumbar spine fusion surgery to see which better reduces bleeding and pain after the operation. If you're having spine surgery, this trial might help your recovery be smoother with less pain and bleeding.
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 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 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.
