Thoracolumbar interfascial plane (TLIP) block: a pilot study in volunteers

Conclusion This report shows that a reproducible area of anesthesia can be obtained by ultrasound-guided injection of local anesthetic in the fascial plane between the multifidus and longissimus muscles of the thoracolumbar spine. The area of anesthesia consistently covered the midline and had a predictable spread. This project was registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02297191).
