Pain relief block for lumbar spine fusion surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests whether adding a retrolaminar block (a type of back injection) to standard pain medicines helps reduce pain after lumbar spine fusion surgery. It may help you recover with less need for strong painkillers.
This study tests whether a numbing injection (called an ESP block) given before spinal fusion surgery reduces pain and helps you recover faster. If you are having neck or lower back fusion, this could help you manage pain with fewer strong opioids.
This early-stage study tests whether a regional nerve block can improve pain control and recovery for older adults having elective lumbar spinal fusion. If you qualify, you may receive a special pain-control injection during surgery to reduce opioid needs and improve recovery comfort.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (injections that numb the back) to see which one gives better pain relief after lumbar spine fusion surgery. Both blocks aim to reduce pain and improve recovery, and you will be randomly assigned to one of them.
This study tests a numbing injection near the spine to see if it reduces long-term pain after back surgery. It may help patients who are having elective lumbar spinal surgery.
