View clinical trials related to Spinal Surgery.
Filter by:Spinal surgery often involves multiple segments. The trauma of surgery is large, the duration of postoperative pain is long, and the pain is severe. Therefore, the use of opioids in perioperative period is large. Although the application of * large amounts of opioids can effectively inhibit pain, it will delay the recovery of urine retention, sedation, respiratory depression and gastrointestinal function. The delayed recovery of gastrointestinal function will increase the postoperative complications, and then increase the length of hospital stay and the cost of patients. Therefore, reducing the dosage of opioids to promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function has become the research direction. Intravenous lidocaine has been proved to be effective in reducing the dosage of opioids during the perioperative period of gastrointestinal surgery and promoting the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function. However, there are few studies on the application of lidocaine during the perioperative period of spinal surgery, especially the impact on postoperative gastrointestinal function. In this study, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled study was conducted to explore the effect of perioperative lidocaine on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after adult lumbar surgery. We hypothesized that lidocaine could shorten the recovery time of gastrointestinal function after lumbar surgery
- Pain is one of the most common concerns for which patients seek medical attention. - Pain is usually understood as symptom that reflects peripheral organic damage. Many patients experience pain, often chronically, independently of any underlying cause such as chronic regional pain syndromes (irritable bowel syndrome, temporo-mandibular pain syndrome, chronic headache or chronic low back pain)or diffuse like in fibromyalgia. In all those "functional" syndromes, accumulated evidence supports involvement of central pain processing systems, hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axes and autonomic nervous system, and are now referred as central pain conditions. - Other patients suffers from chronic pain caused by damage or inflammation in peripheral tissues, but also experienced more diffuse pain, not directly explained by peripheral damage, that further aggravates pain and function. This is illustrated by the high prevalence of fibromyalgia observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or ankylosing spondylitis for example. These pain conditions are now understood as combinations of peripheral, neuropathic and central pain. The investigators aimed to focus in this study in patients that are candidates to spinal surgery and suffer from low back pain and/or radiculopathy. Pain in these patients may arise from damage to nerves - neuropathic pain- , to musculoskeletal structures - peripheral pain-, and may also reflects alteration in central pain processes. In these patients, spine surgery is usually performed to improve quality of life, decrease pain and avoid neurological deficits. Evaluation of surgical outcome includes objective measures such as neurological findings and radiographic evaluation, and subjective measures including patient self-assessments for pain and quality of life and psychological changes. The aim of this study is to evaluate patients who undergo spinal surgery for presence of central pain and central sensitization symptoms and evaluate their influence on these surgical outcomes
