Comparing two types of back pain blocks after lumbar spine surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks (TLIP and QIP) given during back surgery to see which one provides better pain control after the operation. If you're having lumbar disc surgery, this could help you recover with less pain.
This trial compares two types of pain-block injections (erector spinae plane block versus quadro-iliac plane block) given during lower back surgery to see which controls pain better. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain medicines after your operation.
This study compares two ways of giving a nerve block to reduce pain after lumbar stabilization surgery (a surgery to fix or stabilize the lower spine). The goal is to see if one block is enough or if two are needed for better pain control with fewer side effects.
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 trial compares three different ways to manage pain during and after back surgery (lumbar fixation). The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief and recovery.
