Effect of Sedation After Ultrasound-Guided Spinal Anesthesia on Back Pain
This randomized controlled trial will include 180 adult patients scheduled for non-obstetric surgery. Participants will be divided into three groups:
Ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia without sedation
Ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia with sedation (midazolam)
Landmark-guided spinal anesthesia (control)
Sedation will be administered with midazolam before the spinal procedure in the sedation group. All patients will receive standardized anesthesia techniques. Pain will be assessed in the early postoperative period and during long-term follow-up (1, 3, and 6 months) using validated pain scales and questionnaires. Secondary outcomes include pain severity, number of needle attempts, procedure time, patient satisfaction, and complications such as headache or nausea.
This study will clarify whether combining ultrasound guidance with pre-procedure sedation can reduce both acute and chronic back pain after spinal anesthesia, aiming to improve patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction.

|---|---|
Comparateur actifArm A - Ultrasound-Guided Spinal Anesthesia (No Sedation) | Ultrasound-guided Spinal Anesthesia Spinal anesthesia performed under real-time ultrasound guidance using a curvilinear ultrasound probe and 25-27G pencil-point spinal needle. Intrathecal injection of bupivacaine 0.5% hyperbaric (12-15 mg) following local infiltration with lidocaine 1% (2-3 mL). |
ExpérimentalArm B - Ultrasound-Guided Spinal Anesthesia with Sedation (Midazolam) | Midazolam Plus Ultrasound-guided Spinal Anesthesia Patients will receive midazolam (0.02-0.05 mg/kg IV; max 5 mg) 5-10 minutes prior to spinal anesthesia. Ultrasound guidance used for spinal needle placement. Intrathecal bupivacaine 0.5% hyperbaric (12-15 mg) after lidocaine 1% (2-3 mL) infiltration. Oxygen supplementation at 2 L/min and standard monitoring. |
Comparateur placeboArm C - Landmark-Guided Spinal Anesthesia (Control) | Landmark-guided Spinal Anesthesia Spinal anesthesia performed using the traditional landmark palpation technique without ultrasound guidance or sedation. Intrathecal bupivacaine 0.5% hyperbaric (12-15 mg) after lidocaine 1% (2-3 mL) infiltration, using a 25-27G pencil-point spinal needle. |
