New pain block could cut opioid use after spine surgery
NCT ID NCT07326774
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether an ultrasound-guided Quadro-Iliac Plane Block (QIPB) can reduce pain and opioid use after lumbar spinal surgery. Researchers will follow 60 adults undergoing elective surgery, comparing those who receive the block plus standard pain relief to those who get standard care alone. Pain scores, opioid consumption, and side effects will be tracked for 24 hours after surgery.

- Active substance
- Quadro-Iliac Plane Block (local anesthetic injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide evidence that Quadro-Iliac Plane Block improves pain control and reduces opioid use after lumbar spine surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be influenced by patient selection. The block may not work for everyone and carries rare risks like infection or bleeding.
