Study Summary

This trialfound liposomal bupivicaine reduced length of stay, IV narcotic use, 30-day narcotic use and readmissions, and improved pain scores, in lumbar laminectomies.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with lumbar spinal stenosis who haven't had previous surgery at the affected level and don't require a fusion procedure. It's not for those under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, prisoners, patients with daily high-dose opioid use, or if there are other health issues that make surgery too risky.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether liposomal bupivacaine can improve outcomes after lumbar laminectomy surgeries. It looks at how long patients stay in the hospital, their need for IV and oral narcotics post-surgery, pain levels using VAS scores, and readmission rates within 30 days.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Liposomal bupivacaine may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, constipation due to reduced narcotic use; local reactions such as numbness or tingling; and rare but serious complications like nerve damage.
