The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of the thoracolumbar interfascial plane block (TLIP block) versus local anesthetic (LA) infiltration in managing postoperative pain in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for spine surgery.
The primary outcome was total morphine consumption. Secondary outcomes included pain scores using the the numerical verbal scale (NRS), opioid-related side effects, time of the first request for rescue analgesia, time to ambulation and hospital length of stay.
A single-center, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial at Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial Hospital.
All 40 enrolled patients were randomized to receive the assigned intervention, Thoracolumbar interfascial plane group (TLIP group) and local anesthetic (LA) infiltration group (LA group).
At the end of surgery, patients were extubated and transferred to the PACU before being shifted to the orthopedic ward.
Postoperative assessments began upon admission to the PACU, designated as time zero, and continued at regular intervals in the orthopedic ward (6-, 8-, 12- and 24-hours post-surgery).

Patients will be randomized into two groups using a computer-generated block-of-four randomization sequence. The randomization sequence was generated by independent support staff and concealed using sequentially numbered opaque envelopes. The investigator allocated patients by opening the corresponding envelope to determine group assignment, either to receive the Thoracolumbar interfascial plane block (TLIP group) or the local anesthetic infiltration (LA group). Anesthesiologists, nurses in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and the orthopedic ward staff were blinded to the group allocations.
