Nerve block for sudden low back pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a numbing injection near the back muscles to see if it quickly relieves sudden low back pain and helps you move more easily. It may offer a new option for people who have trouble walking due to pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your back pain started within the last 5 days and is not from a known cause like a slipped disc or arthritis.
- Your pain is at least 5 on a 0–10 scale when you move.
- You have trouble walking easily (for example, it takes you more than 20 seconds to stand up and walk a short distance).
- You are not currently taking strong painkillers (opioids) and do not have certain health conditions (like severe heart, liver, or kidney problems, or active infections).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a single injection of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) into the muscles of the lower back can quickly relieve sudden, severe back pain that has lasted less than a week. The goal is to see if this nerve block can help when standard pain pills aren't working.
This trial tests whether a numbing injection near your spine can quickly relieve sudden back pain that has lasted less than six weeks. If it works, it could be a fast, non-opioid option during an ER visit.
This study compares two ways to treat chronic muscle pain in the upper back: a nerve block (numbing injection near the spine) and trigger point injections (shots directly into painful muscle knots). The goal is to see which approach works better for long-lasting relief.
This study tests whether a nerve-blocking injection in the back muscles can relieve persistent back pain in people with ankylosing spondylitis (a condition causing spine inflammation and stiffness). The injection targets specific nerves to reduce pain while your current disease treatment continues.
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 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.
