Predicting how long spinal anaesthesia lasts with a computer model
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study uses a computer model to predict how long spinal anaesthesia (numbing the lower half of your body for surgery) will last. The goal is to better understand and maybe improve future care by predicting block duration more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You will have a planned surgery using spinal anaesthesia (numbing the lower half of your body).
- Your overall health is good or has mild to moderate health issues (ASA I to III).
- You do not have conditions that make spinal anaesthesia unsafe, like bleeding problems, infections, or increased pressure in the brain.
- You are not pregnant and have no spine deformities or prior spine surgery.
- You are able to cooperate with tests that check feeling and movement as the anaesthesia wears off.

This study compares a numbing injection near the spine (called an erector spinae block) to a placebo (fake) injection, to see if it helps reduce pain after breast surgery. If you're having a day surgery on your breast, this could help improve how you feel during recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: one uses a local anesthetic injection around the knee, and the other adds an additional nerve block. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study tracks how long spinal anesthesia lasts during planned orthopedic surgeries. By collecting real-world data, doctors hope to improve timing and care for patients having this type of anesthesia.
This study tests whether giving a drug called dexamethasone before spinal anesthesia shortens how long the numbing and muscle relaxation last. The goal is to help you recover feeling and movement sooner after surgery.
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.
This trial is testing a prediction method during surgery to estimate how strongly a medicine is relaxing your breathing muscles, using a nerve monitoring signal. It may help anesthesiology teams adjust anesthesia more safely during general anesthesia for non-heart surgeries.
