Dysphagia Following Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery; Single Dose Steroid vs Saline (DysDexVSSal)

Dysphagia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Impact of Single Dose Perioperative Steroids on Dysphagia Following Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery: A Randomized, Prospective, Double-Blind Study

Clinical Trial Summary

This prospective, randomized, double blind, controlled study evaluates the effect of a single dose of perioperative IV steroid versus saline on swallowing after anterior cervical spine surgery

Clinical Trial Description

This investigation is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial testing a single dose of peri-operative steroid versus saline and the effect on swallowing after anterior cervical spine surgery. Swallowing symptoms will be measured using the patient reported Bazaz (Bazaz) scale, the EAT10 survey, and the Dysphagia Short Questionnaire (DSQ). Swallowing data will be obtained pre-operatively, one day and two days post-operatively and then one week, two weeks, four weeks, three months, six months, and one year post-operatively. Patient clinical outcomes will be captured using web-based progress reports. Patients will complete the Quality of Life (QoL-12), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaires electronically pre-operatively and at one year post-operatively. This outcome data will help us analyze the swallowing function or symptoms with the overall clinical course of the patients enrolled in this study. ;
