Comparing two spinal pain relievers after lumbar spine surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two different medications (morphine and dexmedetomidine) given through a spinal injection to see which provides better pain relief after lumbar spine surgery. If you qualify, you will receive one of these treatments or a placebo to help manage your pain after the operation.

This trial tests a combination of two pain-relief methods after total knee replacement: a spinal injection and a nerve block in the thigh. It aims to provide better pain control during and after surgery.
This study tests three different medicines given during spine surgery to help patients recover better. The medicines may improve comfort and reduce post-surgery pain.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic colon surgery: one uses a morphine injection near the spinal cord, the other uses an epidural catheter for ongoing pain relief. The goal is to find which approach works better with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether adding a small dose of morphine to a numbing injection near the spine (called erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after midline belly surgery. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines and improve recovery.
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 study compares two ways to manage pain after lumbar spine surgery: a special injection near the back (erector spinae plane block) versus a sedative medication (dexmedetomidine). It aims to see which approach provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
