Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new pain management plan for people having spinal fusion surgery on their lower back. It aims to find the best way to control pain while reducing side effects.
This study tests whether taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like ibuprofen after lumbar spine fusion surgery is safe and helps with pain without affecting bone healing. It may offer an alternative to stronger pain medicines.
This trial tests a personalized plan to manage pain after lumbar (lower back) fusion and decompression surgery. It may help reduce difficult pain while guiding safe use of opioids around the time of surgery.
This study tests whether a special numbing injection (called an erector spinae plane block) given near the spine during surgery can reduce pain after lumbar fusion. If you qualify, you might have less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
This trial compares three different ways to manage pain during and after back surgery (lumbar fixation). The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief and recovery.
This trial tests whether a long-lasting numbing shot (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than a regular numbing shot (plain bupivacaine) for pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. It may help you have less post-surgery pain and potentially use less pain medication.
