First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study looks at whether using local anesthesia (where you are awake but numb) is as good as or better than general anesthesia (being fully asleep) for a common back surgery called lumbar decompression. About 100 adults aged 40-95 with lumbar spinal stenosis will take part. The goal is to see if local anesthesia can reduce pain and disability after surgery.
