Spine surgery study tests best way to use muscle relaxants for safer monitoring
NCT ID NCT07627750
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two ways of using a muscle relaxant drug (rocuronium) during spine surgery. One group gets a low dose throughout surgery, the other stops the drug after the start. The goal is to see which approach gives clearer nerve signals for monitoring the spinal cord. About 62 adults having spine surgery will take part at Bach Mai Hospital in Vietnam.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: \- 1. Patients aged 18 years or older. 2. Patients scheduled for spine surgery under general anesthesia. 3. Patients undergoing spine surgery with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, including motor evoked potentials and/or somatosensory evoked potentials. 4\. Patients who agree to participate in the study and provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Pre-existing central or peripheral neurological disease that may affect intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, such as quadriplegia, persistent sensory disorder, sequelae of stroke, or polyneuropathy. 2\. History of epilepsy or electroencephalographic disorder. 3. Use of neuropsychiatric drugs, strong sedatives, or drugs affecting neuromuscular or neurological conduction within 48 hours before surgery. 4\. Decompensated cardiovascular disease or severe respiratory disease that may affect emergence or anesthetic drug metabolism. 5\. Contraindication to intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. 6. Contraindication to rocuronium. 7. Refusal to participate or withdrawal of consent at any time..
