Numbing injection for pain after scoliosis fusion surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new type of numbing injection near the spine to see how well it controls pain after scoliosis surgery. If you are having a posterior spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis, you may be able to join and receive the injection plus patient-controlled pain medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have idiopathic scoliosis (curved spine from unknown cause) and need a type of back surgery called posterior spinal fusion.
- You are in good overall health (ASA physical status I or II).
- You do not have an infection where the local anesthetic will be injected.
- You have no bleeding problems, allergies to the study medicines, or severe obesity (BMI over 40).

This study compares two types of numbing injections (one around the spine and another near the back muscles) to see which works better for pain relief after lung cancer surgery. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain medicines.
This trial tests whether a specific numbing injection (placed in the muscles of the back) can improve pain control for children having one-stage scoliosis surgery. It may help reduce post-surgery pain needs and improve comfort.
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 small dose of morphine to a numbing injection near the spine (called erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after midline belly surgery. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether a numbing injection around the spine muscles (erector spinae plane block) reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after back surgery for scoliosis in teenagers. The goal is to help young patients recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after scoliosis surgery: numbing the area near the spine (regional anesthesia) or giving lidocaine through an IV. The goal is to see which method reduces the need for morphine after surgery.
