Nerve blocks for pain after neck disc surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares different pain-relieving nerve blocks used during neck disc surgery to see which one helps with pain after the operation. If you're having this type of neck surgery, the results may help improve your recovery and pain control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are scheduled for neck disc surgery (called anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, or ACDF) under general anesthesia.
- You are in overall good health (classified as ASA I, II, or III by your anesthesiologist).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood-thinning medication.
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics (numbing medicines) or opioid painkillers.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after neck surgery. It looks for patients scheduled for a specific neck procedure called anterior cervical discectomy.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain control after lumbar disc surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines after your operation.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which works better for pain after back-of-the-neck surgery. It aims to help patients have less pain and use less opioid medicine.
This trial tests whether a nerve block can reduce the need for opioid pain medication after back-of-neck spine surgery. It may help patients have better pain control with fewer side effects.
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.
