Summary
This study tests whether giving the anti-inflammatory drug ketorolac after spinal fusion surgery can lower the need for strong opioid painkillers. About 140 adults having one- or two-level lumbar fusion will receive either ketorolac or a placebo for the first 48 hours after surgery. Researchers will also check if ketorolac affects bone healing at 6 and 12 months.
