Pain Relief Study for Neck Surgery Patients
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests adding two different pain medicines, dexmedetomidine and nalbuphine, to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) during a neck block for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery. The goal is to see if these combinations provide better pain control after surgery.
