Summary
This pilot study will test whether a 'Comfort Tote' filled with items like aromatherapy oils, stress balls, acupressure guides, and a journal can help teens aged 10-21 feel less pain, anxiety, and stress after scoliosis surgery. Half the participants will get a tote with therapeutic items, the other half a non-therapeutic version. The study aims to see if these simple tools can improve recovery and satisfaction.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Comfort Tote (aromatherapy kit, stress balls, acupressure points, mindfulness exercises, journal)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, drug-free way to help teens manage pain and anxiety after scoliosis surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (50 people) that hasn't started yet. It's testing a tote bag of comfort items, not a new drug, so the effects may be small or hard to measure.
