Comparing two pain blocks for lumbar spine surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks given before lumbar spine surgery to see which one reduces pain and the need for opioid painkillers after surgery. If you're having elective lower back surgery, this could help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) lumbar spine surgery.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I-III).
- You are not currently taking opioid pain medications on a regular basis.
- You do not have bleeding problems, infections at the injection site, or psychiatric conditions that would interfere.

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 tests a numbing injection near the spine to see if it reduces long-term pain after back surgery. It may help patients who are having elective lumbar spinal 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 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 (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.
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.
