This study is looking at how a lidocaine infusion affects nerve monitoring during spine surgery. Researchers want to see if giving lidocaine (a common numbing medicine) through an IV changes how doctors measure your nerve signals (Motor Evoked Potentials or MEPs) during surgery. You might be eligible if you are an adult having elective cervical or thoracolumbar spine surgery and already having nerve monitoring. The study will compare patients who receive a lidocaine infusion to those who receive a normal saline infusion. Success would mean understanding how lidocaine affects these nerve signals, which could help improve patient care during and after surgery. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 44 participants. It compares two groups: one receiving lidocaine infusion and another receiving normal saline infusion.

What's involved

Participants will receive either a lidocaine infusion or a normal saline infusion during their spine surgery. Nerve signals (MEPs and SSEPs) will be measured during the surgery.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Motor Evoked Potentials (MEPs) will be measured during the surgical procedure, for no more than 24 hours.
