Brief Summary: Posterior lumbar spinal surgical pain leads to a severe degree of pain and hence various means of pain management are required Opioid pain medications such as morphine and fentanyl are frequently used as intravenously administered medications To reduce the use of opioids for pain relief a non-opioid form of pain relief such as a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug NSAID is often added to the regimen

With the use of NSAIDs however the risk of systemic side effects such as bleeding gastroduodenal bleeding and kidney damage are being reported and there is also a report of inhibition of spinal fusion these risks limit the use of NSAIDs

Nefopam a new centrally-acting analgesic agent has been reported in an animal study to desensitize post-surgical pain and when used with an opioid analgesic it indirectly controlled the NMDA receptor which inhibited the generation of c-fos gene at the spine There are also reports that Nefopam managed pain by inhibiting the serotonin reuptake receptors

In clinical practice the administration of Nefopam in patients who required post-surgical pain management reduced the use of opioid analgesics by 20-50 and also reduced the prevalence of nausea and vomiting

Therefore the investigators considered whether the addition of Nefopam for intravenous patient-controlled analgesia in patients with lumbar spinal surgery would reduce the side effects seen in monotherapy with opioid analgesia and result in effective pain management This study was conducted to address this question
