Summary

This trial tests a pillow with a spine-shaped opening in the middle, designed to keep pressure off the surgical wound after back surgery. Standard pillows can rub against the incision, increasing the risk of infection and pain. The study will enroll 10 adults who have had lumbar fusion surgery to see if the pillow is comfortable and usable during recovery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this pillow could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve comfort and reduce wound complications after spine surgery.
