Can cannabis affect anesthesia and inflammation in spine surgery?
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how using cannabis before or during lumbar spine surgery might affect anesthesia and inflammation. It compares patients who have used cannabis to those who have not, to see if there are differences in pain, recovery, or side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and able to consent for yourself.
- You are having lumbar spine surgery as an outpatient or staying less than 24 hours.
- You speak English and have access to a smartphone or computer.
- You have used cannabis at least once in your life (any form, any amount).

This study looks at how cannabis use affects pain and recovery after wisdom tooth surgery. If you are 16 or older and need a lower wisdom tooth removed, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how cannabis affects sleep, daily rhythms, and sensitivity to light in young adults. You would either stop using cannabis for 4 weeks (if you are a regular user) or serve as a non-user control, to compare sleep patterns.
This trial studies whether taking cannabis by mouth can safely reduce chronic spine pain and improve daily comfort. You may be eligible if you have long-lasting spine pain and can follow study rules about stopping or limiting other cannabis and certain other treatments.
This early study looks at how the brain may respond to cannabis to reduce long-lasting lower back pain. You may be asked to follow strict rules about cannabis, opioids, and safety checks (including MRI) to help researchers understand the brain mechanisms.
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 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.
