First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether placing small beads containing an antibiotic and pain relievers directly into the surgical site during spine surgery can improve recovery. About 100 adults having elective lumbar fusion will be randomly assigned to get beads with antibiotic alone or beads with antibiotic plus morphine and bupivacaine. Researchers will measure pain, medication use, and hospital stay to see if the medicated beads offer better pain control than standard IV pain medicines.
