This trial tests whether adding one of two different medicines (dexmedetomidine or ketamine) to a numbing injection in the lower spine improves pain relief after back surgery. You would receive the injection while asleep during surgery to help manage pain afterward.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain during and after lower back surgery: one uses an ultrasound-guided nerve block, the other uses a medication called dexmedetomidine. The goal is to see which provides better pain control 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.
This study tests if adding certain medications to a low-dose spinal anesthetic can improve pain control during and after anal surgery. It may help patients with hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or anal fistulas feel less discomfort.
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 tests a numbing injection near the spine (retrolaminar block) to reduce pain after lower back surgery with hardware. It could help you use less pain medicine and recover more comfortably.
