How long does spinal anesthesia last? A study in orthopedic surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tracks how long spinal anesthesia lasts during planned orthopedic surgeries. By collecting real-world data, doctors hope to improve timing and care for patients having this type of anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) orthopedic surgery that will use spinal anesthesia.
- Your health status is classified as ASA 1, 2, 3, or 4 (a rating used by your anesthesiologist).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- If you take blood thinners, they have been stopped following your doctor's guidelines.
- You do not have an infection or rash at the needle site in your lower back.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder and can stay still during the spinal injection.

This study looks at how well spinal anaesthesia (a numbing injection in the back) works for people who have had lumbar spine surgery in the past. It aims to see if previous back surgery affects the success of this type of anaesthesia, which could help doctors plan better care.
This study uses a computer model to predict how long spinal anaesthesia (numbing the lower half of your body for surgery) will last. The goal is to better understand and maybe improve future care by predicting block duration more accurately.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia (midline vs. paramedian) using ultrasound guidance in adults having orthopedic surgery. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to spinal anesthesia can make the numbness last longer after knee or hip replacement surgery. It may help reduce pain after surgery without extra side effects.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for lower back surgery: one that uses opioids and one that does not. The goal is to see which approach controls pain better with fewer side effects.
This study compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) added to a spinal numbing shot for people having planned leg or knee surgery. The goal is to see which one works better to keep your blood pressure stable, and to make the numbing last while keeping you comfortable.
