Analgesic Effectiveness of Nefopam in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery

Thailand50 participantsStarted 2019-05-15

Plain-language summary

Nefopam is a benzoxazocine derivative which is non-opioid and non NSAIDs. The previous studies showed that nefopam can inhibit reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. It has no respiratory depression so may be useful in potential airway compromized surgery like anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). This study aims to study the analgesic properties of nefopam after ACDF.
