About this study

Official title: Randomized Double Blind Comparison of Peri-Operative Standard Analgesia With Peri-Operative Lidocane, Ketamine, or Lidocane and Ketamine Combination, Infusion for Patients Undergoing Spine Surgery

This study has been designed as a controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of brief lidocaine infusion, brief ketamine infusion and a lidocaine/ketamine combined infusion when added to conventional opioid therapy following major spine surgery, as well as to evaluate the effects of the lidocaine/ketamine pain protocol on the feasibility of performing routine intraoperative neurophysiology during spine surgery in adults and determine whether this infusion protocol is compatible with intraoperative neurophysiology on spine surgery patients. If one or more of the approaches is confirmed as efficacious and safe, it could have a significant impact on the routine management of postoperative pain in this context.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lidocaine, Ketamine and Saline in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Beth Israel Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 May 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain Intensity (time frame: postoperative day 1 - 3). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2017.
