An Analysis of the Efficacy of a Pre-Emptive Multimodal Pain Regimen in Reducing Acute Post-Operative Pain and Narcotic Pain Medication Requirements in Spine Surgery

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Pain, Postoperative
Spine Injuries and Disorders
Narcotic Use
Interventions
Drug: Pre-op Multimodal analgesia (MMA) regimen + standard post-op oxycodone
Registration Number
NCT04522206
Lead Sponsor
NYU Langone Health
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the hypothesis that multimodal pain regimen (consisting of acetaminophen, celecoxib, gabapentin, and oxycodone) administered pre-operatively before elective spine surgery significantly decreases acute pain post-operatively as well as decreasing requirements of post-op opioids for pain control in PACU as compared to patients undergoing elective spine surgery without a pre-operative pain regimen.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain24 hours

VAS is a tool widely used to measure pain. A patient is asked to indicate his/her perceived pain intensity (most commonly) along a 100 mm horizontal line, and this rating is then measured from the left edge (=VAS score). The total score range is 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable); the higher the score, the worse the pain.

Opioid Sparing and Rescue Time24 hours

Time interval from patient extubation to time when pain medication is first demanded in the PACU

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Length of Stay in HospitalUp to 12 days
