Enhanced Recovery After Spine Surgery Randomized Clinical Trial

Enhanced Recovery After Spine Surgery (ERASS) Versus Traditional Spine Surgical Care (TC): A Randomized, Prospective Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 284 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two different approaches to the care patients receive before, during and after their spinal surgery and to determine if either approach has a significant difference in patient outcomes, opioid use, and recovery following spine surgery. The study will compare the standard-of-care surgical approach taken at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with the Enhanced Recovery After Spine Surgery (ERASS) pathway. ERASS is a program that will provide additional education before your surgery, reduce your opioid consumption, and provide earlier physical therapy than you would normally receive under the standard-of-care approach, among other protocols outlined in this consent. Patients will be randomized to receive either of these approaches and the researchers will collect information to better understand if the ERASS approach provides more patient benefits.
