Summary

This study tests a new, long-lasting painkiller (liposomal bupivacaine) that works for up to 72 hours after spine surgery, compared to the standard 6-8 hour painkiller. About 204 adults having lumbar decompression and fusion surgery will take part. The goal is to see if it reduces the need for opioids and improves pain control.
