About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Lumbar Disc Herniation

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Any adult patient 18 years of age and older who is undergoing surgery for a lumbar spine problem. Common diagnoses in this category would include lumbar disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis, but this is not an exhaustive list.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with comorbidities excluding use of proposed injection.
  • Patients with major head trauma such that they cannot provide consent or describe their post-operative pain.
  • Patients with other surgical treatment during study treatment (i.e. more than 1 surgery during the study period or within 30 days prior to surgery).
  • Pregnant women (as assessed by pre-operative pregnancy test, which is standard of care).
  • Patients with dementia such that they cannot provide consent or describe their post-operative pain.
  • Patients with an allergy to study medications.
  • Patients with previous drug dependencies.
  • Any patient that refuses to be randomized or does not wish to enroll.
  • Vulnerable populations, such as prisoners.
  • Patients with a fracture, tumor, or infection as their primary diagnosis.
  • Patients undergoing a deformity correction.
  • Patients with surgeries extending more than 4 levels, with surgeries that extend to the pelvis, or with surgeries that cross the thoracolumbar junction.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a randomized prospective study that will compare the use of narcotics in a control group of non-injected patients with a treatment arm of patients injected intra-operatively with a ropivacaine, morphine, and epinephrine cocktail. The investigators hypothesize that this treatment will reduce narcotic use in patients during their hospital stay, and possibly decrease the length of their stay in the hospital.The investigators also hope their pain will be decreased as displayed by their multi-daily Clinically Aligned Pain Assessment (CAPA) score.
