NCT ID NCT05444751
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two ways to numb people for lower back surgery: general anesthesia (being fully asleep) plus a nerve block, or spinal anesthesia (numbing only the lower body) plus a nerve block. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better and feel less pain after surgery. About 142 adults having one or two-level lumbar decompression will take part.
