Monitoring pain signals during spine surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new monitoring device called NOL that measures pain signals during spine surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to help doctors give the right amount of pain medication during surgery, which may reduce side effects and improve recovery.
