Study Summary

Opioid overuse is a widespread public health crisis in the United States with increasing rates of addiction and overdose deaths from prescription opioids. Reducing the need for opiate analgesics in the post-operative setting has become a high priority in minimizing long-term opioid use in surgical patients. This study will serve to demonstrate the efficacy of the addition of regional analgesic techniques in reducing post-operative opioid requirements in patients undergoing common lumbar spinal surgical procedures.

Primary Outcome

Mean per day inpatient opioid consumption in morphine milligram equivalents (MME)

Interventions

  • DRUG Bupivacaine-Epinephrine 0.25%-1:200,000 Injectable Solution plus clonidine
  • DRUG normal saline
