Nerve Block Techniques for Spine Surgery Pain Relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two different nerve-blocking methods to reduce pain and improve recovery after lower-spine fusion surgery. The goal is to find which technique helps patients recover better with less pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (numbing injections) given during lumbar spine fusion surgery to see which better reduces bleeding and pain after the operation. If you're having spine surgery, this trial might help your recovery be smoother with less pain and bleeding.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks used to manage pain after lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This early-stage study tests whether a regional nerve block can improve pain control and recovery for older adults having elective lumbar spinal fusion. If you qualify, you may receive a special pain-control injection during surgery to reduce opioid needs and improve recovery comfort.
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.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (a longissimus plane block and a multifidus plane block) to a local numbing injection for pain control during lumbar spine surgery. It aims to find which method works best for patients having back surgery.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after lower back surgery with metal implants. If you are having this type of surgery and meet the health requirements, you may be able to join.
