NCT ID NCT07652177
First seen Jun 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two types of nerve blocks (lumbar vs. sacral erector spinae plane block) for pain after single-level lumbar microdiscectomy surgery. 88 adults were enrolled to see which block reduced pain scores and the need for extra painkillers like tramadol. The goal is to find a better way to manage post-surgery pain.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
nerve block (lumbar erector spinae plane block or sacral erector spinae plane block)
What this could lead to
If one block works better, it could help patients have less pain and need fewer painkillers after back surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study comparing two similar techniques. The results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and nerve blocks carry risks like infection or bleeding.
