Enhanced Recovery After Surgery in Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a randomized controlled non-inferiority trial designed to evaluate the impact of implementing the 'Early Recovery After Surgery Clinical Pathway (ERAS CP)' on patient-reported pain levels at the time of discharge following Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF) surgery

Clinical Trial Description

Currently, the effectiveness of the ERAS has been widely confirmed in patients undergoing colorectal resection, and it has been verified to reduce length of hospital stay and complications. However, the ERAS protocol for lumbar fusion surgery is based on a few retrospective studies and remains a consensus statement. Recent retrospective studies targeting patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery reported that implementing ERAS could accelerate post-operative functional recovery and reduce hospital stay. However, there is still a lack of high-quality evidence based on prospective studies. Lumbar fusion surgery is known for potentially leading to severe postoperative pain, which poses challenges in consistently applying ERAS components, such as early ambulation or active oral feeding, after surgery. In light of this, the present study aims to validate the non-inferiority of pain levels at discharge within the ERAS group and to reconfirm the effects of ERAS as observed in retrospective studies. Patients admitted for OLIF will be consecutively screened for eligibility. A computer-generated block randomization will be executed at a 1:1 ratio. In the ERAS group, patients will receive comprehensive education about the treatment process, and a clinical pathway that includes active ambulation and pain control will be protocolized and implemented. Should non-inferiority be demonstrated in both intent-to-treat and per-protocol analyses, non-inferiority will be declared. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
