Retrolaminar block for lumbar fusion with multimodal pain control
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for lumbar spine fusion surgery (a surgery to join bones in your lower back).
- Your health status is ASA class I, II, or III (generally healthy to mild or moderate health problems).
- You have not been taking strong pain medicines (opioids) daily for more than 3 months.
- You do not have a history of chronic pain treated by a pain specialist.
- You have not had prior lumbar spine surgery with metal implants at the same spot.
- You do not have kidney problems (creatinine clearance under 60).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or active infection at the surgery site.
- You weigh at least 50 kg (about 110 pounds) and are not allergic to local anesthetics or the pain medicines used.
- You do not have any reason that would make a nerve block unsafe for you.

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.
This study compares two types of pain-blocking injections (Quadro-Iliac vs Thoracolumbar Interfascial Plane Block) to see which provides better pain relief after a single-level lumbar disc surgery. If you are having this surgery, the trial may help you have less pain and use fewer pain medicines afterwards.
This study tests a new combination of pain blocks for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see if adding a back muscle block to the standard abdominal wall block provides better pain relief.
This study tests a numbing injection near the spine (retrolaminar block) to reduce pain after lower back surgery with hardware. It could help you use less pain medicine and recover more comfortably.
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 reduce pain after lumbar fusion surgery. It also adds two medications to make the pain relief last longer and reduce inflammation.
