Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after back surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must be scheduled for a one- or two-level lumbar spine fusion surgery (back surgery that joins bones in your lower spine) under general anesthesia.
- You must be in generally good health (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III).
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be under 35.
- You must not be taking blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder.
- You must not have used strong narcotic pain medicines for more than 3 months, be pregnant, or have other serious organ problems.

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 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 trial compares two types of nerve blocks used to manage pain after lumbar spine fusion surgery. The goal is to find which block provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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 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 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.
