Filter by:This research aims to understand the impact of conditioned open label placebo (COLP) on opioid consumption and pain after surgery. The hypothesis being tested is that by pairing a non-deceptive placebo pill with regularly prescribed pain killers after surgery, will allow reduction in opioids taken while maintaining the same level of analgesia.
: Spine surgery induced severe postoperative pain. Several techniques as intravenous multimodal analgesia have been proposed to reduce pain relief and morphine rescue over the first postoperative days. Regional anesthesia using the erectus nerve block is a simple infiltration across lamina of the vertebra: Ultrasound-guided posterior ramus of spinal nerve block for anesthesia and analgesia in lumbar spinal surgery This study compared erector nerve block with local anesthetic vs placebo to reduce pain and morphine rescue after lumbar spine surgery. The investigators hypothesized that eructor nerve block induced a large block from L1 to L5 that induced posterior nerve roots block anesthesia. This block reduced pain after surgery.
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an agent that has been shown to be safe and effective to reduce blood loss in surgical procedures. The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of transexamic on elective decompressive lumbar spine surgery with and without fusion.
Protein intake in spinal fusion surgery can prevent paraspinal muscle atrophy by maintaining muscle mass, regeneration, and growth. Also, by reducing the amount of pseudarthrosis, pain and disability can have a positive effect on recovery. The high prevalence of this type of surgery, the instability and degeneration of adjacent surfaces of fused sections, lumbar muscle atrophy, increased muscle tissue fat, and negative impact on patient recovery, also with regard to the fact that research has so far aimed to determine The effect of protein supplementation on para-spinal muscles has not been studied in patients undergoing posterior lumbar spine fusion surgery, therefore clinical trials are necessary. In this trial patients undergoing elective posterior spine fusion surgery are divided into two groups of intervention or control.
Receiving protein can affect the bone formation and maintenance by providing a structural matrix of the bone, optimizing the level of IGF-1, increasing intestinal calcium absorption, transferring phosphorous, and improving muscle strength.Therefore, protein may be effective on vertebral fusion by such mechanisms. In this trial patients undergoing elective posterior spine fusion surgery are divided into two groups of intervention or control.
The study aim is to show the effectiveness of a hybrid system (DTO) regarding clinical outcome and radiological alteration in a single-center prospective setting.
Elective lumbar spine surgical procedures are commonly performed under controlled hypotension during general anesthesia. That is beneficial to limit the intraoperative blood loss and transfusions and improves surgical field. Deliberate hypotension could be achieved via various medications but mostly associated with significant side effects. Pregabalin effectively augmented hypotensive anesthesia. The hypothesis is that Pregabalin 150 mg single preoperative dose may augment intraoperative deliberate hypotension that will be reflected on blood loss and nitroglycerin consumption.
Spine surgery is one of the most common operative procedures in the United States. It is performed in the prone position (a patient laying on belly). Muscle relaxants are given for neuromuscular blockade often referred as paralysis for surgical exposure which is maintained until the patient is returned to the supine position (a patient laying on back) at the end of surgery. At the end of the surgery the paralysis is reversed with a drug (neostigmine). A new drug (sugammadex) has the ability to rapidly reverse the paralysis but it is not well investigated in elderly. This study will investigate speed of recovery and complications of the two reversal drugs in elderly patients (age ≥ 65 years) undergoing posterior spine surgery.
Enhanced recovery pathways (ERP) after surgery have been shown to decrease length of stay and perioperative complications in a range of surgical specialties. To date, ERPs has not been studied in patients presenting for spine surgery. The investigators have recently developed an interdisciplinary pathway for spine surgery patients based on the latest available evidence and guidelines. The aim of this trial is to compare the investigators enhanced recovery pathway with conventional perioperative management in patients undergoing 1-2 level posterior lumbar fusion.
This is a prospective randomized study evaluating the use of a prophylactic incision wound vac dressing, applied in the OR, on patients undergoing posterior spine surgery with a BMI>35. Patients are randomized in the operating room to normal postoperative dressing vs. vac dressing. The vac dressing would be left on for 72 hours postoperatively. In the interim, the patients' postoperative care can proceed as usual. Our primary outcomes will be antibiotics or return trip needed to the operating room for wound related complications. The patients only intervention would be the application of an incisional wound vac. The will be no change in the patients postoperative protocol otherwise. This procedure is noninvasive.
