NCT ID NCT06801574
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at three different ways to manage pain after lower back surgery. The goal is to find which method works best and reduces the need for strong painkillers like opioids. Researchers will use a simple saliva test to measure the body's natural pain-fighting response. About 84 adults having elective lumbar fixation surgery will take part.
