Multimodal Pain Package vs. Regular Formulation for Pain Management in Ambulatory Spinal Surgery

Study Purpose

The purpose of this research is to compare two outpatient pain management strategies in patients undergoing spinal surgeries such as microdiscectomies, foraminotomies, and spinal decompressions.

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.

NCT05965492
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.

Arms

Active Comparator: Bottled pain formulations Group

Participants in this group will use the standard-of-care medication treatment for ambulatory spinal surgery prescribed to them in different bottles for 7 days.

Experimental: Multi-Modal regimen Group

Participants in this group will receive the same drugs used during the standard-of-care treatment for ambulatory spinal surgery. However, the drugs will be prescribed using a simple multimodal medication pre-formulated package for 7 days.
