Study Summary

This trial is testing different settings to find the best way to stimulate pedicle screws and measure the response. No extra data will be collected.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients scheduled for spine surgery involving pedicle screw placement and intraoperative neuromonitoring, specifically those with conditions like spinal fusion or stenosis.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing pulse-width modulation during stimulation of pedicle screws in spine surgeries. It aims to find out the response thresholds at different settings without collecting further data.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on measuring responses to electrical stimulation settings rather than a drug or device, specific side effects are not detailed. However, typical risks associated with spine surgery and neuromonitoring may apply.
