Comparing two nerve blocks for pain relief after lumbar spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
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 back surgery to remove a herniated disc (lumbar discectomy) under general anesthesia, involving up to two spinal levels.
- You must be in generally good health (ASA I-II).
- You must not be allergic to any of the medications used in the study.
- You must not have a bleeding disorder, active infection at the injection site, severe neurological problems, chronic opioid use, advanced liver or kidney failure, or severe obesity (BMI > 35).
- You must not be pregnant or unable to provide consent.

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.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during and after surgery for a single-level lumbar disc herniation: an erector spinae plane block (a numbing injection near the spine) versus intrathecal morphine (a painkiller given into the spinal fluid). The goal is to see which approach reduces the amount of anesthesia needed during surgery, which may lead to a smoother recovery.
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 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 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 tests two different injection methods to see which one provides better pain relief after lower back surgery. If you are having a microdiscectomy, this study may help determine the best way to manage your post-operative pain.
