New pain monitor aims to cut opioid use in spine surgery

NCT ID NCT07608276

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study tests a device called the NOL monitor, which measures pain levels during spine surgery. Doctors use it to decide when to give more pain medicine. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the amount of opioids needed during and after surgery, and helps patients wake up and leave the recovery room faster. About 100 adults having elective spine surgery will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

PMD-200 monitor with NOL index (device)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could help doctors give just the right amount of pain medicine during surgery, possibly reducing side effects and speeding up recovery.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study with only 100 people, and it compares results to past cases rather than a control group. The device may not improve outcomes significantly.
