How Non-Drug Factors Affect Spinal Block Numbing Duration
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how non-medication factors—like body position, temperature, or movement—might change how long spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected into your spine) lasts during lower abdominal surgery. Understanding these factors could help doctors predict and optimize numbing for your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are having planned (non-emergency) lower abdominal surgery
- Your overall health is rated as ASA I, II, or III (your doctor can tell you this)
- You do not have bleeding disorders or take blood-thinning medications
- You are not pregnant and do not have serious heart valve problems or spine deformities
- You have not had previous spine surgery

This study compares two types of anesthesia for lower back surgery: one that uses opioids and one that does not. The goal is to see which approach controls pain better with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether a numbing injection in the back (erector spinae plane block) helps reduce anesthesia needs during gallbladder surgery. It compares two anesthesia methods to see which works better for pain control and recovery.
This study tracks how long spinal anesthesia lasts during planned orthopedic surgeries. By collecting real-world data, doctors hope to improve timing and care for patients having this type of anesthesia.
This study compares three different medications (magnesium, neostigmine, or fentanyl) added to the spinal anesthetic to improve pain control after lower abdominal surgery. The goal is to find out which one works best and lasts longest.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain during and after lower back surgery: one uses an ultrasound-guided nerve block, the other uses a medication called dexmedetomidine. The goal is to see which provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
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.
