Pain block study for back surgery withdrawn before it began
NCT ID NCT06154980
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to compare giving a TLIP nerve block before spine fusion surgery using ultrasound versus giving it during surgery without ultrasound. The goal was to see which method better controlled pain and reduced opioid use. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no conclusions can be drawn.

Ropivacaine
What this could lead to
If it had succeeded, this could have pointed to a better way to manage pain after spine surgery, possibly reducing opioid use.
What could go wrong
The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available. Even if conducted, it was a small, single-center trial with limited generalizability.
