Clinical Trial Summary

"RECK" is a combination of local anesthesia medications, used for the purpose of pain control. RECK is an acronym which stands for Ropivacaine, Epinephrine, Clonidine, and Ketorolac. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of RECK local injectable anesthetic in the setting of posterior spinal fusion. Our specific aims are the following. Primary aim: to investigate the effect of RECK local injectable anesthetic on postoperative VAS pain scores. Secondary aims: to investigate of effect of RECK injection on postoperative opioid consumption and hospital length of stay. Hypothesis: RECK injection will significantly decrease postoperative VAS pain score, opioid consumption, and hospital length of stay compared to placebo controls.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients will be randomized into two groups. Intraoperatively, they will be given either 1) a 50 mL RECK (ropivacaine, epinephrine, clonidine, and ketorolac) cocktail containing 123 mg ropivacaine, 0.25 mg epinephrine, 0.04 mg clonidine, and 15 mg ketorolac into the paraspinal musculature and subdermal space surrounding the operative site once the fascia is closed (intervention group), or 2) a 50 mL injection of saline (control group). RECK is used for pain control and will be administered by fellowship-trained orthopaedic spine surgeons. All patients will have a patient-controlled analgesia pump initiated shortly after surgery, with routine postoperative care and observation from nurses, pain management, and orthopedic surgeons and residents. ;
