Summary

This study tests whether the drug aprepitant can prevent nausea and vomiting in children and teens after scoliosis surgery. About 100 participants aged 8 to 18 will receive either aprepitant or standard care. The goal is to see if fewer kids need extra anti-nausea medicine after their operation.
