NCT02752477 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2020-03-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this trial is to determine whether an opioid-free general anesthetic (OFA) technique utilizing ketamine, dexmedetomidine, and lidocaine infusions can help reduce postoperative pain in opiate-dependent chronic pain patients (CPPs) undergoing spine surgery when compared with traditional opioid-containing techniques. It is expected that this OFA regimen will have a measurable reduction on postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores in CPPs.
