How antidepressant use affects anesthesia needs in spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at how your regular antidepressant medicine affects the amount of anesthesia you need during spine surgery. It aims to help doctors give you safer, more accurate dosing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have chronic depression and take a regular antidepressant from the SSRI or SNRI family (for example, sertraline, citalopram, venlafaxine, or duloxetine).

- Your health status is classified as ASA 2 or ASA 3 (mild to moderate health issues).
- You are not undergoing general anesthesia with inhaled agents.

This study looks at how sleep problems before surgery affect the amount of anesthesia needed and how well you recover after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to help doctors personalize care for better recovery.
This study compares two common anesthesia medicines—sevoflurane (inhaled gas) and propofol (IV liquid)—to see which works better for people with obesity having lower-back spine surgery. The goal is to understand which anesthetic is safer and more effective for this group.
This study tests a different way of giving anesthesia during spine surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for painkillers (opioids) after surgery, without increasing discomfort.
This study tests whether combining two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, during spine surgery can help prevent chronic pain that sometimes continues for months after surgery. If you are having spine surgery and will use a pain pump afterward, this trial might be a good fit for you.
This study tests two anesthetic medications, ciprofol and remimazolam, during spinal surgery with nerve monitoring. It aims to find which one allows clearer nerve signals, which may improve safety and outcomes.
This trial looks at whether people’s anxiety before ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery affects how much pain medicine (opioids) they need after surgery. It may help doctors better plan pain control based on anxiety level and possibly gender-related patterns.
