NCT ID NCT07201987
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether placing special beads containing an antibiotic and pain relievers directly into the surgical site during spine surgery can improve recovery. About 100 adults having lumbar spine surgery will either get beads with just antibiotic or beads with antibiotic plus morphine and bupivacaine. Researchers will measure pain, medication use, and hospital stay length.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
vancomycin, morphine, and bupivacaine in calcium sulfate beads
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to manage pain and prevent infection after spine surgery, potentially reducing the need for strong painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial. The beads may not work better than standard care, and there is a risk of allergic reaction or infection.
