A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of two regional anesthesia techniques, the Thoracolumbar Interfascial Plane (TLIP) block and the Quadro Iliac Plane Block, in reducing postoperative opioid use following lumbar microdiscectomy. The research aims to determine which method provides better pain control and fewer opioid-related side effects, such as nausea and respiratory depression. Patients aged 18 to 80 scheduled for this surgery will be included, and their postoperative pain levels will be assessed using a Numeric Rating Scale. The study seeks to enhance patient recovery by minimizing opioid consumption through effective pain management strategies.
