Surgical Recovery Support Pillow for Spine Surgeries

This study is looking at a special pillow called the Surgical Recovery Support Pillow for Spine Surgeries. This pillow has an open space in the middle to protect the surgical wound on your back after spine surgery, aiming to reduce friction and potential complications like infection. Researchers want to see if this pillow is easy for patients to use and if it helps reduce pain during recovery. You might be able to join if you are an adult having lumbar fusion surgery. The study will measure how often the pillow is used and how much it helps with pain at one day, at discharge, and two weeks after surgery.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 10 adult patients. It is a single-arm study, meaning all participants will receive the Surgical Recovery Support Pillow.
What's involved
You would be asked to use the Surgical Recovery Support Pillow and complete surveys about its ease of use and pain reduction. These surveys will be done one day after surgery, at discharge, and two weeks after surgery.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for two weeks after surgery, with surveys at one day, at discharge, and at the two-week mark.
