Spinal Stenosis clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Spinal stenosis is when the spinal canal narrows and puts pressure on nerves. UCSF is studying how ketamine affects motor signals during back surgery. Researchers want to ensure patient safety while using anesthetics.

Showing trials for

  • Ketamine on Intraoperative Motor Evoked Potentials

    open to eligible people ages 18-100

    The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of ketamine on intraoperative motor evoked potentials in adult patients undergoing thoracolumbar spinal fusions. Participants will undergo a standard anesthetic. In addition to the standard anesthetic, the patients will be administered increasing doses of ketamine with motor-evoked potentials being measured at each dose, to assess any impacts.
