First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain after repeat lumbar spine surgery. 64 adults aged 40-70 will receive either a caudal epidural block alone or a combined lumbar sympathetic block with caudal epidural. Pain levels will be measured before and after surgery to see which method provides better relief.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nerve block (caudal epidural or combined lumbar sympathetic block with caudal epidural)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a better way to manage pain after repeat back surgery, reducing the need for strong painkillers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 64 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and nerve blocks carry risks like infection or temporary numbness.
