NCT06054802
This is a prospective, observational cohort study that will examine how sleep quality impacts postoperative pain and opioid consumption for pediatric patients. The investigators will administer a questionnaire preoperatively to determine which patients have poor or good sleep quality. They will then compare postoperative pain and opioid use between groups for two weeks following surgery. For a secondary aim, investigators will use electronic medication vials (eCAP) to monitor participants' medication use at home and compare to self-reporting.
NCT05583864

Porous titanium cages 2. Non-porous titanium-coated poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) cages.
NCT07378735
Aim This study aims to assess the effectiveness of an early intervention comprising individually tailored physiotherapy, including dialogue, education, and graded activity, following lumbar spinal fusion surgery. The effectiveness will be evaluated on patient-specific goals, physical activity, pain intensity, pain interference, fear of movement, and pain self-efficacy for patients after a lumbar spinal fusion.
NCT06282770
After spinal fusion and decompression surgery there is a possible risk of developing chronic back pain. After surgery there is typically inflammation around the operation site and this inflammation can be painful and debilitating to patients. Many possible treatment plans have been incorporated to assist the patient with recovery - notably medications, physical therapy, and braces. However, few studies have looked at laser diodes that utilize high-power laser lights that are aimed at decreasing pain and inflammation. Investigators aim to look compare patients using a back brace with laser diodes within versus those who wear a normal brace used as a placebo. Investigators will also assess the patient's surgical wound to monitor the progression of wound healing while using the brace.
NCT03849443
As tranexamic acid (TXA) becomes more prevalent, all patients are receiving the same dose and method of delivery regardless of their pre-operative risk of transfusion. Therefore, the aim of the study is to determine whether or not repeated dosing of oral or different method of delivery like intravenous (IV) TXA reduces the postoperative reduction in hemoglobin, hematocrit, number of transfusions, and postoperative blood loss following open spine surgery. The regimen that utilizes multiple doses of oral TXA will significantly minimize post-operative blood loss and transfusion requirements compared to the use of a single dose regimen. Furthermore, oral TXA will be as efficacious as intravenous delivery of TXA.
NCT06820190
This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of multiple mid-transverse process to pleura (MTP) block and PCA in idiopathic scoliosis patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgery.
NCT05273879
Long-term clinical results of two methods of surgical treatment (spinal decompression with or without fusion) in patients with single-level lumbar stenosis will be compared. A clear framework for surgical treatment methods and standardized postoperative rehabilitation treatment will be set to obtain the maximum homogeneity of the patient groups. This trial should provide the first level of evidence for the need for spinal fusion in patients with single-level lumbar stenosis, subject to the high homogeneous comparison groups. Additional results will allow comparing the economic aspects of different surgical treatments for 2 years after surgery.
NCT04904575
The aim of this study is to observe or not a reduction in the consumption of morphine within 72 hours of the realization of an erector spinae plane block when preparing for a lumbar spinal fusion.
NCT06096181
Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis may need surgery to correct their scoliosis. General anesthesia is required for this surgery, and a multimodal analgesic regimen using combinations of opioid and non-opioid medications is the standard of care. The purpose of this study is to compare two combinations of total intravenous anesthetic medications in children with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis having posterior spinal fusion surgery. Participants in the study will be randomly selected to receive either Propofol and Remifentanil or Propofol and Dexmedetomidine as their total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). TIVA is favored over gas anesthesia because gas anesthesia can affect the neurological monitoring necessary for this surgery. The first combination (Propofol + Remifentanil) is the most common one used for this surgery at our institution, and the second combination (Propofol + Dexmedetomidine) is more commonly used in adult spine surgery. Though Dexmedetomidine is not approved for pediatric use by the FDA, it is widely used in pediatric patients for procedural sedation and surgical anesthesia in the US and worldwide. Both anesthetic combinations are used safely in adult and pediatric patients at our institution. Although remifentanil works fast and is an excellent pain medication during surgery, there are reports that it's use can cause increased pain sensitivity and greater need for narcotic pain medication after surgery. This phenomenon is known as opioid-induced hyperalgesia. The investigators hypothesize that avoiding the use of remifentanil in the TIVA by using dexmedetomidine could avoid OIH and thus result in superior postop pain control. Our study's primary goal is to measure the total opioid consumption on postoperative days (POD)# 0 and 1. Our secondary goals are to measure the pain scores on a visual analog scale (VAS) on POD# 0 and 1, measure the time it takes for participants to move their feet to command when surgery is done, and measure the time it takes for participants to be extubated when surgery is done. By comparing these measurements, the investigators hope to find out if there is any significant difference between the two TIVAs in terms of postop opioid requirements, pain scores, and time to wake up from anesthesia. The investigators hope that our study gives us more knowledge on how to better treat postoperative pain in children who have spine surgery to correct their

NCT05287035
Current efforts to improve pain alleviation focus on non-opioid pharmaceuticals. Intravenous perioperative corticosteroid administration has been suggested as an alternative method for post-operative pain control. The evidence regarding perioperative intravenous corticosteroids to help alleviate post-operative pain is mixed. Some meta-analyses report decreased opioid consumption and decreased pain intensity after a variety of surgical procedures. However, a study of larger orthopedic procedures found no benefit. The catabolic and immunosuppressant effects of corticosteroids also pose issues with wound healing and infection, which can have severe consequences after spine surgery. There is limited data on the effect of perioperative intravenous steroid administration on pain alleviation in children having surgery to address spine deformity. A recent retrospective review demonstrated that perioperative corticosteroid administration was associated with a statistically significant decrease in opioid medication utilization among children and adolescents after spinal deformity surgery. While not increasing the risk of postoperative complications. The investigators hypothesize that the administration of perioperative intravenous dexamethasone will demonstrate a clinically meaningful and statistically significant decrease in postoperative pain intensity, need for opioid medications, time to ambulation, and length of stay in children recovering from surgery for spine deformity.
