Study Comparing Local/ MAC Anesthesia in Lumbar Decompression

Study Purpose

Explore efficacy, complications, and other factors associated with anaesthetic choice- To evaluate the efficacy of local + MAC as an alternative anesthetic to general anesthesia and to analyze patients' outcomes and experiences.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04992572
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

100 Patients ages 40-95 with lumbar stenosis to be decompressed are randomized to undergo the procedure with either general anesthesia or local anesthetic with MAC. Participants will be randomized to either group 1 General anesthesia or group 2 Local + MAC anesthetic group. Group 1: General Anesthesia: Medically induced unconsciousness that suppresses reflexes and requires intubation (a tube inserted through the mouth and into the airway) to assist in breathing. Group 2: Local + MAC: Local anesthetic (lidocaine) injected into the site of the incision/dissection with additional IV medication (Propofol) to achieve a state in which the patient is generally aware, but relaxed

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Active Comparator: General anesthesia

Patients under this group will be undergoing lumbar decompression surgery with general anesthesia: General Anesthesia: Medically induced unconsciousness that suppresses reflexes and requires intubation (a tube inserted through the mouth and into the airway) to assist in breathing.

Patients under this group wil be undergoing limbar decompression surgery with Monitored Anesthetic care, (MAC)/Local. Local + MAC: Local anesthetic (lidocaine) injected into the site of the incision/dissection with additional IV medication (Propofol) to achieve a state in which the patient is generally aware, but relaxed.

Interventions
