Pain medication monitoring during lumbar spine surgery in older adults
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving pain medication during lumbar stabilization surgery in older adults. One method uses special monitoring to guide the dose, and the other uses standard practice. It aims to improve pain control and recovery after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You will be having lumbar stabilization surgery (a procedure to stabilize the lower spine).
- You do not regularly take strong pain medications (opioids) for long-term pain before the surgery.
- You do not have severe congestive heart failure (a serious heart condition that affects pumping).
- You do not have a severe irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia).
- Your high blood pressure is well controlled (not consistently high despite medication).

This trial uses a special monitor (NOL index) to help doctors give just the right amount of pain medicine during surgery. It is for people having trauma or orthopedic surgery who are also getting regional anesthesia.
This trial tests a device that monitors your pain level during surgery using a special index called the Nociception Level Index. It may help doctors manage your pain better without using too much medicine.
This study tests a different way of giving anesthesia during spine surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for painkillers (opioids) after surgery, without increasing discomfort.
This study tests a special pain monitor (called NOL) during spine surgery to see if it helps the anesthesia team give you the right amount of pain medicine. The goal is to improve your comfort and recovery after surgery.
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.
