Pain monitor during spine surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
