Comparing two pain blocks for lumbar fusion surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for a first-time lumbar spine fusion surgery under general anesthesia.
- You can rate your pain on a scale from 0 to 10.
- You do not have conditions that would make nerve blocks unsafe, such as bleeding problems or infections at the injection site.
- You are not currently taking strong pain medications (opioids) on a regular basis.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or less.

This study compares two types of numbing blocks used during hip replacement surgery to see which provides better pain relief. Both blocks are given near the hip to help reduce pain after surgery.
This trial tests a nerve block called Quadro-Iliac Plane Block to reduce pain after a single-level lumbar microdiscectomy (back surgery). The block is given before surgery and may help you need less pain medicine and recover more comfortably.
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.
This study compares two types of pain blocks given during hip replacement surgery to see which one provides better pain relief. Participants will receive one of the two blocks along with spinal anesthesia to help manage pain after surgery.
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 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.
