Summary

This study tests two methods to control pain after lumbar discectomy (surgery for a slipped disc). One method is a nerve block guided by X-ray, the other is injecting pain medicine into the wound. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and reduces the need for strong opioid painkillers. 130 adults having single-level disc surgery are taking part.
