NCT ID NCT07348419
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two different nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain after single-level lumbar disc surgery. 70 adults will receive one of the blocks before surgery, and their pain and opioid use will be tracked for 24 hours. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
