Numbing blocks after neck disc surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether numbing blocks given near the spine improve recovery after ACDF neck surgery. It may help you have less pain and fewer side effects after your procedure.
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 elective ACDF (a type of neck surgery to remove a disc and fuse the bones) under general anesthesia.
- Your overall health status is relatively good (ASA class I, II, or III).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood-thinning medications.
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines or opioid painkillers.

This study compares two types of pain-blocking injections (Quadro-Iliac vs Thoracolumbar Interfascial Plane Block) to see which provides better pain relief after a single-level lumbar disc surgery. If you are having this surgery, the trial may help you have less pain and use fewer pain medicines afterwards.
This study tests adding two different pain medicines, dexmedetomidine and nalbuphine, to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) during a neck block for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery. The goal is to see if these combinations provide better pain control after surgery.
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 if giving a numbing injection before front neck surgery under general anesthesia helps control pain better. It may be a good option if you are having this type of elective surgery.
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 numbing injection (called a multifidus cervicis plane block) in the neck muscles helps reduce pain after back-of-the-neck fusion surgery. Half the participants will get the real block, the other half a sham (fake) block, to see if it really works.
