First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether giving methadone during and after major spine surgery can reduce the need for other opioids three months later. About 120 adults having multi-level spine fusion will be randomly assigned to receive methadone or a placebo. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and practical, and to gather data for a larger future trial.
