Summary
Nefopam is a benzoxazocine derivative which is non-opioid and non NSAIDs. The previous
studies showed that nefopam can inhibit reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.
It has no respiratory depression so may be useful in potential airway compromized surgery
like anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). This study aims to study the analgesic
properties of nefopam after ACDF.
