Recording of Intraoperative Spinal Cord Stimulation and Monitoring

Sponsor

University of California, Los Angeles

Enrollment

150 participants

Start Date

Jan 21, 2011

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Cervical Stenosis Spondylosis Disk, Herniated

Summary

Opioid overdose suppresses brainstem respiratory circuits, causes apnea, and may result in death. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) at the cervical spinal cord facilitated motor activity in rodents and humans, and we hypothesized that EES of the cervical spinal cord could antagonize opioid-induced respiratory depression in humans. In this study, we will stimulate the spinal cord during surgery and assess its effects on respiratory function in human patients.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years
