What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether a nerve block called an inter-semispinalis plane block can help people use fewer opioid painkillers after posterior cervical spine surgery. About 60 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard pain medication or standard medication alone. The goal is to see if the nerve block lowers opioid use, reduces pain scores, and shortens hospital stays.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Inter-semispinalis plane block (ISP nerve block)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to reduce opioid use and improve pain control after neck surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 people. The nerve block may not reduce pain or opioid use significantly, and there are risks like infection or nerve damage.
