Study Summary

This trial will test whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can help people with respiratory depression from an opioid overdose.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients who are undergoing brain or spinal cord surgery and where monitoring of the spinal cord's activity is used. There are no specific exclusion criteria, so it appears open to all eligible surgical candidates.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if epidural electrical stimulation (EES) at the cervical spine can counteract opioid-induced breathing problems during surgery. It will record how EES affects motor activity and respiratory function in human patients.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly stated, potential side effects may include discomfort from the stimulation, temporary nerve issues, or skin irritation at the electrode site.
