Summary

This study tested whether extra education and coping skills, delivered through a smartphone app, could help teens aged 11-18 manage pain and recover faster after scoliosis surgery. Forty participants were randomly assigned to receive either standard care or the app-based program with videos on coping and recovery. The goal was to see if the app reduced pain, opioid use, and improved function up to 6 weeks after surgery.
