Amantadine Sulphate Usage in Spine Deformities Corrective Surgeries Patients

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Spinal Curvatures
Interventions
Drug: Group A amantadine sulfate
Other: Group B ringer lactate
Registration Number
NCT03178708
Lead Sponsor
Assiut University
Brief Summary

During the surgical procedure of scoliosis correction, large surgery extent and long-lasting strong nociceptive stimulation lead to postoperative pain formation of greater intensity compared with other orthopedic interventions. In these patients, duration of postoperative symptoms is longer, and may lead to persistent pain formation due to developing neuroplastic changes in the central nervous system.

Detailed Description

Instrumentation in correction operations for spinal deformities as vertebral fusion, congenital and traumatic scoliosis, carries a 0.5-5% risk of injuring the spinal cord during spinal surgery.

These complications are generally results of complex factors such as direct effects of compression on the spinal cord, distraction, the effects of spinal ischemia or arterial hypotension.

The purpose of the wake-up test is to monitor voluntary motor function of the lower limbs once the vertebrae have been instrumented and distracted. The depth of anesthesia is gradually lightened up to the point where patients are able to respond to verbal commands. As the voluntary movement of lower extremities is demonstrated, the depth of anesthesia is increased to complete the surgery.
