Summary

This study tests whether a special injection called an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can reduce pain and the need for pain medicine in children having scoliosis surgery. About 42 children with adolescent idiopathic or neuromuscular scoliosis will either get the block plus standard care or standard care alone. Researchers will measure pain scores and how much medication is used in the first three days after surgery.
