Nerve block for pain from herniated disc
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a nerve block injection (called an erector spinae plane block) to see if it helps reduce pain from a herniated disc in the lower back. It may be a good fit if you have ongoing low back pain and have not had spine surgery before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a herniated disc (slipped disc) in your lower back by a doctor, physical exam, and MRI.
- You have had low back pain for more than 6 weeks.
- You do not have severe spinal narrowing, are not pregnant, and do not have an infection, cancer, or a systemic inflammatory rheumatic disease.
- You do not have any nerve, bone, or birth problems that stop you from being physically active.
- You have not had any previous spine surgery.

This study tests a new way to give a pain-relieving injection for lower back problems. If you have ongoing back pain from a disc, narrowing, or slipped bone, this treatment may help reduce your pain.
This study tests if a nerve block given before surgery can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after lower back surgery. You may be eligible if you are having planned, non-emergency lower back surgery and have no major heart, liver, or kidney problems.
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 tests a numbing injection called an erector spinae plane block to treat sudden low back pain. It may help people who have trouble walking due to their pain and have no known cause for it.
