NCT ID NCT06210061
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two types of anesthesia for major spine surgery to see which one better preserves the nerve signals doctors monitor during the operation. 78 adults aged 21-45 undergoing spine surgery received either a standard drug combination or one with an added sedative called dexmedetomidine. The goal was to find which approach keeps nerve monitoring more reliable, helping surgeons avoid nerve damage.
