Comparison of the Effects of Quadratus Lumborum Block and Retrolaminar Block on Postoperative Pain in Lumbar Disc Herniation Surgery
Sponsor: Kocaeli University
Summary
This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of quadratus lumborum block (QLB) and retrolaminar block (RLB) in patients undergoing lumbar disc herniation surgery. Both regional anesthesia techniques are increasingly used for postoperative pain management, but there is limited evidence directly comparing their effectiveness. The primary outcome is postoperative opioid consumption, while secondary outcomes include postoperative pain scores
