Two nerve blocks for pain relief after lower back surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (pain-relieving injections) to see which provides better pain relief after lower back surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two blocks, and the goal is to improve comfort and reduce the need for strong painkillers.

This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection near the hip area can provide better pain relief after lower back surgery. If you qualify, you may receive this injection to help control pain after your operation.
This trial tests a nerve block called Quadro-Iliac Plane Block to reduce pain after a single-level lumbar microdiscectomy (back surgery). The block is given before surgery and may help you need less pain medicine and recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two different types of nerve blocks to see which one reduces the need for strong pain medicine after lumbar microsurgery. It may help patients have better pain control and fewer side effects from opioids.
