Could a Patient's own blood prevent chronic pain after back surgery?
NCT ID NCT05196503
First seen Jun 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
About 30% of people who have surgery for a herniated disc still suffer from nerve pain afterward. This study tests whether applying a gel made from the patient's own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) around the nerve during surgery can prevent that chronic pain. The trial will enroll 60 adults scheduled for disc surgery and measure their pain levels afterward.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) made from the patient's own blood
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, safe way to prevent long-term nerve pain after disc surgery, reducing the need for painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-phase trial with only 60 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment might not reduce pain more than standard care.
