Spine Tumor clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

A spine tumor is a growth that occurs in the bones or soft tissues of the spine. UCSF is observing the effect of ketamine on motor evoked potentials during adult thoracolumbar surgeries. Data on intraoperative nerve signals are recorded and analyzed.

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.
