Which nerve block eases back surgery pain best?
NCT ID NCT07166250
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—quadratus lumborum block and retrolaminar block—for pain after lumbar disc surgery. About 84 adults having elective back surgery will receive one of the two blocks before surgery. Researchers will measure pain scores, opioid use, and patient satisfaction to see which block works better.

What this could lead to
If one block proves better, it could become the standard for managing pain after back surgery, reducing opioid use and improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study. Results may not apply to all patients, and neither block may be clearly superior.
