Low-dose muscle relaxant during spine surgery with nerve monitoring
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a lower dose of a muscle relaxant (rocuronium) during spine surgery can still allow doctors to monitor your nerves safely. It may help you wake up more easily after surgery while keeping your nerves protected.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for spine surgery under general anesthesia.
- Your surgery will use nerve monitoring (motor or sensory evoked potentials).
- You do not have a neurological condition that could affect nerve monitoring, like paralysis, stroke, or nerve damage.
- You have not had epilepsy or taken certain medications that affect nerves or muscles within 48 hours before surgery.
- You do not have severe heart or lung disease, and you have no contraindications to rocuronium.

This study compares two ways to monitor muscle relaxation during surgery. It looks at how well a nerve monitor on the arm works versus one on the wrist, to help doctors give the right amount of muscle relaxant medicine.
This trial compares two muscle relaxants, rocuronium and cisatracurium, to see which causes fewer complications in people with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) who need general anesthesia. If you have kidney disease and are having surgery that requires a breathing tube, this study may help determine the safer drug for you.
This study compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
This trial tests whether a medication that relaxes muscles (called a neuromuscular blocker) improves breathing help during surgery when a type of airway tube is used. It aims to see if it helps patients breathe better while under anesthesia.
This study looks at whether giving a deep muscle relaxant during your child's belly-button surgery can reduce pain after the operation. It may help kids feel better and recover more comfortably.
This study is testing a new way to predict how quickly a muscle relaxant (rocuronium) works during surgery. The aim is to give each patient the right dose for their body, which may help anaesthesia start more smoothly and safely.
