Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Ropivacaine combined with Magnesium Sulfate   Patients in the comparator group will receive a combination of ropivacaine and magnesium sulfate (a mineral with analgesic properties) for surgical site infiltration during lumbar spine surgery. Local infiltration of 15ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine with 500mg Magnesium sulfate equivalent to 1ml plus 4ml Normal saline at surgical site .Magnesium sulfate’s potential in enhancing the analgesic effect of local anesthetics will be evaluated in comparison to dexmedetomidine. 
Intervention  Ropivacaine combined with Dexmedetomidine   Patients in the intervention group will receive a combination of ropivacaine (a local anesthetic) and dexmedetomidine (an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist) for surgical site infiltration during lumbar spine surgery. 15ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine with 50microgram Dexmedetomidine equivalent to 0.5ml plus 4.5ml of Normal Saline will be administered at surgical site . The aim is to assess the combined effect of local anesthesia and the analgesic properties of dexmedetomidine in improving post-operative pain control and reducing opioid consumption.

Brief Summary  

This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of two combinations of medications used for surgical site infiltration in patients undergoing lumbar fixation surgery. Specifically, it will evaluate Ropivacaine combined with Dexmedetomidine versus Ropivacaine combined with Magnesium sulfate. The study will measure postoperative pain relief using Numerical  Rating scale (NRS) scores at various time points, the time to first analgesic request, and total analgesic consumption. Additionally, it will monitor side effects such as hypotension, bradycardia, and nausea. This prospective, randomized, double-blind trial will provide insights into which combination offers superior pain control, potentially improving post-surgical recovery and reducing the need for opioids.
