Spine surgery pain study seeks better recovery
NCT ID NCT07245524
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two different methods to control pain after spinal fusion surgery: injecting morphine near the spine or using a nerve block. The goal was to see which approach works better for pain relief and reduces the need for extra painkillers. Fifty adults having spine surgery took part, and their pain levels and side effects were tracked for 24 hours after the operation.
