First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding an ultrasound-guided nerve block to standard pain medicine can reduce the need for strong painkillers after lower back surgery. Fifty adults having elective lumbar spine surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard care or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if the block lowers total opioid use in the first 24 hours after surgery, with additional checks on pain levels, side effects, and recovery.
