New nerve block aims to cut opioid use after spine surgery
NCT ID NCT07711522
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a new ultrasound-guided nerve block, called the quadro-iliac plane block, can reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers after posterior spinal instrumentation surgery. The study includes 60 adults undergoing this surgery. All patients receive standard pain medicines, and half also get the nerve block. Researchers will compare opioid use, pain scores, and side effects between the groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a new nerve block called quadro-iliac plane block (QIPB) given with standard pain medicines
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this block could become a standard way to control pain after spine surgery, reducing the need for opioids and their side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early-stage trial with only 60 people, so results may not apply widely. The block is new and its effectiveness is not yet proven.
