Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

This study tests whether a numbing injection called an erector spinae plane block can lower the amount of morphine patients need after lumbar spinal fusion surgery. Researchers will compare morphine use over 72 hours in 130 adults receiving either the block or a placebo. The goal is to improve pain control while reducing opioid-related side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
erector spinae plane block (a numbing injection near the spine)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to reduce opioid painkiller use after back surgery, leading to fewer side effects and faster recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, single-center trial. The block may not significantly reduce morphine use, and there are always risks like infection or nerve damage from the injection.
