Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the post operative analgesic efficacy assessed by Numeric Rating Scale(NRS), between Bilateral USG guided Retrolaminar Block and local anaesthetic infiltration in patients undergoing thoraco-lumbar spine surgery.Timepoint: 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hour, 6 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
